B.O.D.Y. Beyond Obesity and Disordered Eating in Youth
What do you think about messages, campaigns, or interventions aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle, weight-related problems, and positive body image? Do you want to talk about it?Take part in a focus group to share your thoughts and experiences! Are you between the ages of 16 and 25?
About the research study: The aim of this study is to collect information on eating disorders, disordered eating, and obesity prevention intervention in youth. Should you agree to take part in this project, you will be asked to participate in a focus group lasting two hours and, if you wish, a face-to-face interview. With your permission, the focus group and interview will be audio-recorded. In addition, you will be asked to complete a brief form requesting details about your educational and personal background (e.g. sex, education, personal income, and ethno-cultural background).
In appreciation of your time and involvement, you will be reimbursed for expenses related to your TTC fare (to and from the meeting). Also, you will receive an honorarium in the amount of $20.00 (ITune gift certificate) at the end of the focus group and a $10.00 ITune gift certificate at the end of the interview.
