Psych Support Research

INTERVIEW PARTICIPANTS NEEDED

Are you on, or have you recently been on, a waitlist for adult (18+) psychological treatment for an eating disorder in Australia? This includes outpatient treatment from an eating disorder clinic, treatment from a private psychologist or a day program for anorexia nervosa (typical/atypical), bulimia nervosa (typical/atypical) and/or binge eating disorder.

Would you like to share your experience? If yes, you are invited to participate in a study being conducted by researchers at Curtin University and the Centre for Clinical Interventions.

Waiting lists for specialist treatment of eating disorders can be very long. By participating in the study, you will be helping us gain an understanding of the lived experience of being on a waitlist and how people can be better supported while waiting for treatment.

Participation will involve a 5-minute brief screening questionnaire (which can be accessed through the QR code on the flyer below or through the following link: http://bit.ly/EDwaitlist) and, if eligible, one online interview lasting approximately 60 minutes. All responses will be de-identified and confidential. If you’re interested in participating and would like to receive more information, please contact me ([email protected]). If you know someone else who would feel comfortable sharing their experience, please feel free to pass on my information and share the attached flyer.
