Looking for Participants!
This research plans to understand the experiences of people who experience eating difficulties after having a sibling become unwell with anorexia. It aims to understand these experiences better and think about how services can offer better support to siblings of people with anorexia.
Currently I am looking to recruit participants. If you:
- Are over 16
- Have lived with a brother or sister with anorexia (with or without diagnosis)
- And have then gone on to restrict your diet for at least 3 months with a wish to change your body
And…
- Are now recovered or in recovery from eating difficulties
To participate learn more or if you have any questions please visit our website or contact me via email: es716@exeter.ac.uk
What to expect:
Participation with involve a short telephone call followed by a one off interview over zoom (with or without camera) with me, to explore your experiences. This interview will last for around 45 minutes.
Participant data will be kept confidential at all times. The research will be written up and submitted as a thesis but no information will be published that identifies any participants. The outcomes of the study and any updates will be posted on the website.
All participants will be entered into a prize draw to win a £50 Amazon voucher.
