This is our last call for participants. We have the last couple of spaces available for one of our focus groups THIS MONDAY (20th May) at 10am or 4pm. If you are interested email: tanya.frances@open.ac.uk #EatingDisorderResearch #MentalHealthProfessionals

We are aware that calories on menus has been in the news today talking of apparent benefits - but our research reveals a darker truth. For individuals with Eating Disorders, calorie labels worsen distress, perpetuating harmful behaviors.

"These data reveal that the introduction of calorie labelling on menus may exacerbate isolation and loneliness for those with eating disorders." Great blog today for #EDAW2024 by Lucy Hyam from KCL, highlighting research by @TanyaFrances_ et al nationalelfservice.net/?p=186771
