Who can participate?

You should be a male of any

  • race;
  • sexual orientation;
  • religious faith;
  • family background.
  • You must be over eighteen years old and identify as having experienced or as currently experiencing an eating disorder.

 

  • It is ok if you do not have an official diagnosis of `eating disorder' but still believe yourself to have issues around food, eating (over-controlling or loss of control or problems with exercise addiction).

  • You should be a British citizen - this is because my study is particularly concerned with understanding UK males' experiences.

What else do you need to be able to take part?

  • You need an email address and access to a computer.
  • To be able to write your account (`story') in any version of Microsoft Office Word*.
  • To choose a pseudonym (false name) that I will use to identify you, rather than using your real name.

*If you fit the criteria and wish to contribute but do not have easy access to a computer or feel uncomfortable about your IT skills then hand-written accounts are also acceptable. They can be sent to me at the address on the right hand side of the page. If you decide to do this then please provide a return address. Addresses are not viewable by anyone but me and will not be kept with your contribution so that they cannot be matched.
