Thank you for your interest in this study!
We are conducting this research project because we want to understand more about eating patterns that may happen due to being afraid of physical sensations related to eating, feeling less hungry than others and being less interested in food than others, or sensory sensitivity. All study participants must meet certain eligibility criteria to make sure that they can participate safely and provide meaningful data for this project.
First, please complete the following questions and provide your contact information and preferences. Some of these questions are personal in nature; however, everything disclosed is confidential and will only be shared with research staff directly involved with this study and those who regulate or sponsor this study.
If you appear to meet eligibility criteria based on today’s screening, you will be contacted within the next few weeks to provide further information and to schedule a study visit. There is no compensation for completing this brief survey. However, participants who are eligible and decide to participate in the study will be compensated up to $525. The full study would include two study visits (Visit 1: up to 3.5 hours, Visit 2: up to 3 hours) at our Sanford Center for Biobehavioral Research building. These visits would consist of having your height and weight measured, completing clinical interviews, filling out questionnaires, completing a computer task which would involve making ratings throughout the task and monitoring sweat gland activity on one of your hands, and doing a stress test which would involve collection of saliva to measure cortisol level. The study would also involve 14 days of completing brief surveys (~3 minutes each) throughout the day on your smartphone.
