Below are four of the ongoing studies you could participate in:
Imaginal Exposure Therapy Online
Do you have an eating disorder or eating related anxiety? If so, this study may be for you. You can participate in this study from anywhere in the world – it is all online. The purpose of this study is to investigate if the use of imaginal exposure therapy can be helpful in reducing eating-related anxiety. Participants in the study will be asked to complete a phone screening, brief education about imaginal exposure therapy, and questionnaires before they begin participation in the study. Participants will be asked to think and write about an eating related fear or anxiety. Exposure therapy is beneficial for the reduction of anxiety, and as such is an expected benefit of participation in this study. Participants will be paid up to 125 dollars to participate in this all online study.
