We are seeking feedback from people with lived experience of an eating disorder, significant others, credentialled eating disorder clinicians, and eating disorder researchers in Australia on the ‘transdiagnostic targets’ for (1) early intervention to prevent development of an eating disorder, and (2) augmentations for evidence-based treatment of an eating disorder to improve outcomes. This research will help to inform the development of single session interventions, brief single episode treatments, that will be evaluated in future interventions for eating disorders.

Researchers from Flinders University are interested in your opinions on the ‘transdiagnostic targets’ for (1) early intervention to prevent development of an eating disorder, and (2) augmentations for evidence-based treatment of an eating disorder to improve outcomes.

If you are 18 years or older, currently live in Australia, speak English, and belong to one of the following expert groups, you are eligible to participate:
•       Person with lived experience of an eating disorder, past or present: You must have lived experience of any eating disorder (e.g., you currently have an eating disorder, you previously had an eating disorder, or you are in recovery from an eating disorder).
•       Significant other, who lived with and/or cared for someone with an eating disorder, past or present: You must have lived with and/or cared for someone with an eating disorder (e.g., while the eating disorder was developing). You could be a parent, guardian, caregiver, partner, spouse, sibling, another family member, or another loved one.
•       Credentialled clinician specialising in eating disorders, present: You must be a credentialled eating disorder therapist with the NEDC/ANZAED with current registration to practice with AHPRA, AASW, Dieticians Australia, or another health profession registration. 
•       Researcher specialising in eating disorders, present: You must be a post-doctoral or higher-level researcher currently employed at a research institution or similar research organisation (e.g., university, SAHMRI, CSIRO) and conducting research primarily in eating disorders.

Following a 1-minute survey to check eligibility, participation will involve completing two or three online surveys over about two months. The total estimated time commitment is no more than 60 minutes. 

As a thank you for your participation, after completing the surveys you will be sent a $100 Coles voucher.

The project has been approved by the Flinders University Human Research Ethics Committee (7269).
