Current Study Aim Assess levels of awareness of ED among college students. The study design has been kept short and simple by using a cross-sectional approach including 2 questionnaires (EAT and EDAT). We are targeting student populations (S=200). Findings will provide us with important insights and will help tailoring culturally sensitive prevention strategies and treatment options.

Support & Aim We encourage those with ED to attend support groups. Overeaters Anonymous is a 12 steps program for compulsive eaters. We aim to provide different types of support groups. We also aim to put together an online helpline
