Introduction and initial information

The Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre (AEDRTC), Eating Disorder Workforce Research Engagement and Capacity Survey.

Researchers at La Trobe University along with researchers from the AEDRTC are seeking volunteer research participants who are in the eating disorder workforce and are willing to report their engagement in research.

Is this research study a good fit for me?
The study might be a good fit for you if:

• You are a part of the eating disorder workforce in Australia  (e.g., a clinician, researcher, an individual [or a loved one] with lived experience). For this survey we are defining the eating disorder workforce as anyone who is engaged with work directly involving eating disorders, including those in lived experience and clinical / practitioner roles, as well as researchers, academics and current students. Work roles may be paid or voluntary. We want to hear from everyone in any of these roles.

• You are interested in contributing your knowledge and experience to improve our understanding, prevention, and treatment of eating disorders.

What would happen if I took part in the research study?
If you decide to take part in the research study, you would:
• Be asked to complete an online survey that takes approximately 20 minutes.

Will I be paid to take part in the research study?
There are no additional costs associated with participation in this research study, nor will participants be paid.
