    Hello everyone,

    I am a PhD student at McGill University and a student member of the AED. I am part of a team working on a study examining the impact of COVID-19 on psychological health, with a particular interest in the pandemic's impact on eating pathology.

    The Biopsychosocial Examination of Eating Patterns (BEEP) Lab is seeking adult (18+) men and women with and without a history of psychological disorders to participate in a study examining factors that influence psychological responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Our research aims to identify which factors may protect or worsen psychological health during this time. Participants will be asked to complete a confidential 30-minute online survey including questions about their experience of COVID-19 (e.g., degree of lockdown in their area), psychological symptoms (e.g., eating disorder symptoms, anxiety), and various coping mechanisms (e.g., mindfulness, emotion regulation).

    Participants can provide their email addresses which will be entered into one of our draws for a $100 Amazon gift card (1/20 chance of winning). Participants are also free to keep their responses anonymous, but they won't be eligible for our draws.

    I am happy to answer any questions here or directed to my email below.
