About the research trial

Researchers at La Trobe University and Eating Disorders Victoria are seeking volunteer research participants to be involved in a study about cognitive behaviour therapy and guided self-help treatment for eating disorders. We hope to learn whether 10-session versions of these treatment approaches can improve outcomes in those with mild to moderate eating disorders. The study will be conducted in the North East Region of the Murray Primary Health Network. Treatment will be delivered face to face and/or via telehealth. We also hope to learn how best to design a larger study providing eating disorder treatment in rural settings.
