About this study

Research Team

PhD Candidate Miss Gemma Virgili, Professor Susan Rossell and Dr. Erica Neill.

Institution

Swinburne University

Participants

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. It is important that you are currently living in Australia when you complete this survey.

What is Involved

We 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.
