Research Participants Needed

We are recruiting women for a study that examines binge eating, relationships, and wellbeing.

We are looking for women who:

  • Binge eat at least twice per month (eat more in one sitting than people typically eat AND feel a loss of control)
  • Have a romantic partner
  • Are age 18+
  • Own a smartphone
  • Read and write in English
  • Are able to come to York University for one in-person appointment (parking/TTC cost will be reimbursed)

What does the study involve?

  1. Complete a brief screening phone call to determine eligibility.
  2. Attend a 90-minute meeting with the researcher in-person at York University to complete an interview and questionnaires.
  3. Complete 5 brief surveys per day on your phone for 14 days.
  4. Attend a virtual 5-10-minute debriefing session.
  5. You will also be given a flyer to give to your romantic partner so they can complete questionnaires if they choose.

Compensation will be provided.

 If you would like more information or to set up a screening phone call, please email relationshipsandwellbeing@gmail.com.

This study has been approved by the York University Research Ethics Board (e2024-007).
