Researchers at the University of Melbourne are looking for gay and bisexual cis-men with body image and/or eating difficulties to trial the SEED app. SEED is 10-week smartphone app-based intervention program designed to help gay and bisexual cis-men with their eating and body image.

What is involved?

1. To find out if the app is likely to be a suitable support for your concerns, we will ask you a few questions about yourself and your body image and eating attitudes and behaviours in the the following pages. This will take <10 minutes.
2. Depending on your answers to these questions, you may be invited to participate in an interview to follow up in some more detail about your experiences with the topics you have been asked about in this survey (e.g., your body image and eating attitudes and behaviours). The purpose of this interview is to further explore whether the app would be a good fit for you.
3. If you are eligible to participate in this research and to test the SEED app, we will check in with you a few times over the next 12 months to see how you are faring after having used the app. This is a really important part of the project to help us to understand how the app works and to be sure it can help other people in the future.

You may be eligible to participate if you are 18 years or older, identify as a gay or bisexual cis-man, and are experiencing eating and/or body image concerns. Please note that, at this time, people with a current diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa, Atypical Anorexia Nervosa, and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder are not eligible to participate in this research.
