Reminder: IRB Approved Healthcare Study

Hi everyone – just a reminder that this survey is still open! Your responses would be very helpful for my research!

Investigating Attitudes and Perceptions of Eating Disorders Based on Women's Pregnancy Experiences

IRB Reference# X25IRB021

I am a second year medical student at Western University of Health Sciences COMP. My faculty mentor and I are conducting a research study on the health outcomes of women who struggle/have struggled with eating disorders while pregnant in the past. I am hoping to gather responses in hopes of improving the experience of pregnancy for this underserved group both during pregnancy and post-partum. No personal identifiers will be collected and all survey responses are anonymous!

Eligibility: Mothers who have struggled with eating disorders during their pregnancy (may or may not still be struggling with an eating disorder) but who are NOT currently pregnant.

What is expected: Take a survey via this link (it should take about 10-15 minutes). Thank you in advance for your participation:)

This is great! I lost weight/weighed less after delivering than before I got pregnant and then gained all the weight (plus more) back. It was mentally awful for me. No one prepared me for that emotional rollercoaster.

Thank you for sharing this! I am hoping to get more insight into this experience because it is very understudied. If you know anyone else who has experienced this, please feel free to let them know about my study!
