Eating Disorders and Behaviours Research Group

In #EDAW understanding GLP-1 use in those with eating disorders has been one of the most pressing clinical considerations in the past couple of years. If you have used or attempted to obtain GLP-1, over 16, in UK and with an ED please do take part in our survey and interview!

We are currently recruiting adults age 16 or over based in the UK with a clinical or self diagnosed eating disorder who have experience of using, or attempting to obtain, GLP-1 weight loss injections. Please do complete the survey here edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3q…

What a week with two new papers published from our group! First one is Sarah moody, Helen Sharpe, @OpitzTine and the EDIFY crew on asssociations between fitness and diet technology and disordered eating onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/er…

@OpenMindMH Thank you for sharing! ❤️

Any chance of a RT? @kingsedresearch @CaraLisette @BeatED_Scotland @HopeVirgo ???

A great way to start off the week; gave a presentation on my current project "The Body in Flux: A Grounded Theory Approach of Disordered Eating in Adults with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus" at the @EdinUniHealth Conference 🔬👩🏼‍🔬

Autistic women or non-binary participants (18+) needed📢 We would like to hear your valuable expertise in reviewing an intervention that aims to prevent body image concerns and disordered eating. For more info, please email Hannah at h.k.lewis@qmul.ac.uk

New research! Photovoice paper exploring research priorities for autistic people with eating disorders onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

New EDAC led by Michelle Sadler "Findings shed light on potential neuroanatomical underpinnings associated with both AN symptomatology and autistic characteristics, providing evidence that behavioral measures of autistic characteristics are unrelated to changes in BMI"

New publication out today in collaboration with @KateTchanturia and @PEACE_Pathway supporting implementation of neurodiversity affirming care in eating disorder services mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/9…

We are recruiting clinicians in eating disorder services to think about barriers and enablers for implementing autism affirming care e.g @PEACE_Pathway . If you would be willing to be interviewed over TEAMS there is more information and sign up here! edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0d…
