| Description | Pilot study investigating longitudinal predictors of relapse and recovery from eating disorders using a novel fear based treatment. |
| Organisation | University of Louisville |
| Country | United States |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | I am a co-investigator on a grant application for a pilot study which will involve remote data collection to identify predictors of treatment response and relapse following a novel exposure-based treatment for fear in the eating disorders. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Partners are clinicians who have designed and will deliver this novel treatment whilst assessing a multitude of potential predictors and contributors to recovery and relapse processes. |
| Impact | If the grant is funded there will be manuscripts in the future. Currently, no output has resulted. |
