BDD Treatment Survey - Participant Informed Consent Form

About this study

This survey examines the perceptions of adults experiencing symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), regarding their attitudes and opinions of available treatment options. We are aiming to collect answers from people living in Australia who have or are currently experiencing symptoms of BDD to understand how we can help to generate improved services and treatments for BDD nation-wide. This project has been approved by or on behalf of Swinburne’s Human Research Ethics Committee (SUHREC) in line with the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research.

ParticipantsPeople living in Australia who have or are currently experiencing symptoms of BDD to understand how we can help to generate improved services and treatments for BDD nation-wide. It is important that you are currently living in Australia when you complete this survey.

What is InvolvedWe want you to answer some brief questions about your treatment journey relating to your BDD. You don’t need to have a formal diagnosis of BDD to take part nor do you have to have received treatment for your symptoms. Additionally, to help us understand which groups have responded, we will ask some questions about you, such as your age and employment status. It is important that you are currently living in Australia when you complete this survey.

The survey will take around ~7 minutes to complete, although some individuals may take a bit longer.
