What can we learn from parents who have had a child experience an eating disorder?
The accompanying Information Sheet for Participants provides full details about this research:
Information letter
Thank you for completing this survey. Most questions are multiple choice and thus we expect it will take around 15 minutes to complete.
Your responses are confidential and will be used to a) improve prevention, early detection and treatment services in health and school settings; and b) learn how to best support parents with a child experiencing an eating disorder.
No identifying information will be released, so please answer the questions honestly. An example of how the data will be used is: "the average rating of parent experiences in discussing their child's eating disorder with a GP was X". Please be assured survey completion is voluntary and you are welcome to stop at any point. If your child is a current patient of a treatment service, your choice to complete or not complete the survey will not have any impact on their treatment. Indeed the service will never be aware of your participation.
Below you will be asked whether you consent to participate. If so, the survey will then begin.
Thank you once again.
