Research Opportunities

We are conducting this study in order to develop a questionnaire that measures eating and feeding disorders in children and teens. Our goal with this questionnaire is to be able to accurately diagnose these disorders in youth and monitor improvements during treatment.

We invite children and teens ages 10-18 that are receiving treatment for their eating disorder to participate. Your child must be fluent in written and spoken English and must not have diagnoses of intellectual or developmental disability that would prevent them from taking a survey, a reading-based learning disorder, or current medical conditions that might interfere with appetite or body weight.

First, the parent/guardian will be invited to complete a few screening questions online that takes approximately 5-10 minutes; these questions determine their child's eligibility to take the rest of the survey. Children and teens who are eligible will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires that is expected to take 60 minutes to complete. The first half of the survey is for the parents, and the second half is for the child/teen to complete. The questionnaires will ask questions about your child's mood, anxiety, and behaviors and thoughts about eating. Children and teens who complete the questionnaires will be provided with $30 via ClinCard, a research payment card, or a gift card.
