Volunteers needed for Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative
Have you experienced an eating disorder? The Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative (EDGI) team in New Zealand invite you to join a global initiative to discover the genes that cause eating disorders. The team are currently looking to recruit 3500 people who have experienced anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder at some point in their lives and are at least 16 years old.
If you choose to participate in this study, you will be asked to complete an online survey and to provide a saliva sample for DNA analysis.
Find out more about the Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative research, or to participate in the study. You can also contact the EGDI team at the University of Otago directly (03 372 6700 or edgi[at]otago.ac.nz).
