Personality and Binge Eating in Men and Gender-Diverse People
Summary
Research on eating disorders in men and gender-diverse people (such as transgender and nonbinary people) is scarce. This study aims to describe personality traits in men and gender-diverse people with binge eating versus men and gender-diverse people with no eating disorder. It also aims to describe psychological symptoms, like depression and substance use, that go with eating disorders.
Participants will be asked to complete:
1. a video or phone interview
2. an online survey
The entire study should take about 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. Participation is confidential.
Thanks!
