A lovely trip down memory lane today at Hull Uni; back where it all began 📚

A poster titled "Assessing the suitability of eating disorder measures within a UK disabled and neurodivergent population" is across the top, The York St. John University logo is in the top left and bottom right corner. Inside blue and orange textboxes are - Why is this study important? Traditional measures have often been based on the experiences of the stereotypical idea of a straight, white, affluent girl This is not the case in reality! This study will assess how suitable these measures are for a marginalised population, to see if any changes are necessary Better measures means improved access to support To take part you MUST: Be 18+ years old Have an official diagnosis, or self-identify, as being neurodivergent OR having any disability – physical/mental/cognitive, etc. Not experience a severe learning disability, due to well-being concerns What does the study consist of? An online survey asking: Some demographic information - e.g. age, gender, sexuality, neurotype The frequency of thoughts & behavior relating to body image & eating Each of the bullet points are denoted by stars. If you're interested/have questions please contact GEORGINA BURTON gburton221@gmail.com. There is also a QR code to scan. Scattered on the poster is an image of a plate, knife and fork; a woman looking at her reflection in a handheld mirror; a blind person with a cane and guide dog; a man in a wheelchair, and a silhouette of a head with a brain made from colourful sparkles. At the bottom in smaller writing is "images by FreePik, Pixabay, and Vecteezy.com".
