In #EDAW understanding GLP-1 use in those with eating disorders has been one of the most pressing clinical considerations in the past couple of years. If you have used or attempted to obtain GLP-1, over 16, in UK and with an ED please do take part in our survey and interview!
We are currently recruiting adults age 16 or over based in the UK with a clinical or self diagnosed eating disorder who have experience of using, or attempting to obtain, GLP-1 weight loss injections. Please do complete the survey here edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/j…
