Harnessing technology to reduce the burden of eating disorders

The general goal of the project is to improve healthcare delivery for young people with an elevated risk or initial symptoms of an eating disorder. Specifically, the project will a) identify barriers to seeking professional help for an eating disorder among young people in Australia and Germany, and b) investigate the efficacy of online peer-to-peer support with respect to the reduction of impairment and overcoming access-to-care barriers.
