Researchers at the University of Melbourne are looking for gay and bisexual cis-men with body image and/or eating difficulties to trial the SEED app. SEED is 10-week app-based prevention and early intervention program targeting eating disorder symptoms in adults.

Despite increasing awareness of the risk and protective factors for eating disorders and efficacious approaches to treat symptoms, a significant treatment gap remains. It is estimated that only 25% of individuals with an eating disorder receive treatment. This gap is exacerbated for certain high-risk under-serviced groups (e.g., queer men men) with needs that are not satisfied by current front-line treatment options. Our eHealth intervention, SEED, specifically focuses on eating disorders among queer men and therefore is both needed and timely.

You may be eligible to participate if you are 18 years or older, identify as a gay or bisexual cis-man, and are experiencing eating and/or body image concerns. Please note that, at this time, people with a current diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa, Atypical Anorexia Nervosa, and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder are not eligible to participate in this research.
