Participant Information

Researchers from InsideOut Institute for Eating Disorders at the University of Sydney are calling for 1,000 people identifying as LGBTQIA+ to share their experiences with mental health, body image, eating and exercise.

Limited international research suggests that there can be significant risk of body image concern, disordered eating and behaviours, and experiences of poor mental health for many within our community.   

 

But we need more reliable information to be able to support our community in the best possible way. 

 

This 15-minute survey is open to those aged 16+.

​

Participating could make a genuine contribution to improving advocacy, treatment and health outcomes.

 

Thank you for supporting this important study designed by LGBTQIA+ people, for LGBTQIA+ people.

If you have any questions about the study, reach out to the InsideOut team on 02 8627 5690 or insideout.research@sydney.edu.au.
