The purpose of this study is to better understand genetic, behavioral, and medical factors that might be related to eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa (AN), atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge-eating disorder (BED), and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
You will first answer a Screening Questionnaire about your eating behaviors. Your answers will determine whether this study is a good fit for you. If the study is a good fit, we will ask you to submit a Saliva ("Spit") Sample, which we will mail to you. We will also ask you to answer the Core Questionnaires, which ask about eating and body image, and the Supplementary Questionnaires, which ask about is about eating, mental and physical health, and behavior. This study can be completed from home. You can leave and come back to the questionnaires so you don't have to do them all at one time.
