Do you have an eating disorder?
I am writing to let you know about a new study we are conducting to help us better understand the effects of the media on those who have eating disorder symptoms. We are hoping to interview women who have had a diagnosed eating disorder. We will ask her about the onset of her disorder and the maintenance of her symptoms. If you know of someone who might be interested in participating in this study, please have her contact
Catherine Cook-Cottone at cpcook@buffalo.edu or Sarah Rowland, Doctoral Candidate at eatingdisordersurvey@yahoo.com.
