    Dear Members,

    For my PhD, I plan to develop a new body image questionnaire, and for this I will need your help. Currently I am planning a study that includes online focus group discussions and/or individual interviews via Zoom teleconferencing with current or past eating disorder lived experience experts. The topic of the discussion is body image and participants will be asked questions about experiences with own body, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs about one's weight and shape. If you find yourself in this participant description and wish to share your personal experience involving body image, you can leave your email address and I will personally contact you to arrange a suitable time for Zoom. Of note, the discussion will last approximately one hour and you will be reimbursed with AUD 10. Also, if you are under the age of 18, you will be given a 
    parental information sheet and parental informed consent (in addition to participant information sheet and participant informed consent) which must be signed on-screen before participation. This study has been approved by the Western Sydney University human research ethics committee (approval number H13701). Thank you in advance!

    Katarina
