The Use of Adaptive Trials in Eating Disorder Treatment Research

About this study

This project will seek feedback on the use of adaptive trials in eating disorder research from people with either a lived or living experience of an eating disorder, or those who are current or past carers of someone with an eating disorder. Participation should take no more than 20 minutes (at most) and participation is entirely voluntary. If you would like to participate, in recognition of your contribution and participation time, you will have the opportunity to win one of four $50.00 Coles Myer Group vouchers.
