I'm forwarding notice of this study for those of you who may qualify as study participants and would like to advance our scientific understanding of A.N.
Genetic Study Needs Participants!
Groundbreaking research on the genetics of anorexia nervosa, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, is currently underway. The research group, consisting of 10 sites across North America and Europe, needs families to participate in the study.
The study is looking for families where 2 or more relatives (sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, grandparents) currently have anorexia or have had it in the past. If your family fits this description, or if you have patients with relatives who've had anorexia, please tell them about this study.
