We are pleased to offer you an opportunity to participate in research being conducted by the Eating Disorders In weight-related Therapy (EDIT) Collaboration.
The EDIT Collaboration is bringing together research data from clinical trials conducted globally to identify individual characteristics of a person and intervention components associated with risk of eating disorders in adolescents and adults who take part in weight management interventions. We are conducting a survey to inform the work of the Collaboration by identifying priority areas for analysis.
