Our students have an opportunity to participate in a longitudinal research study facilitated by a PHD Candidate, Shauna Byrne,  at the University of Technology Sydney.

The UTS Adolescent Eating Behaviour and Mental Health Survey focuses on the factors that influence the development of disordered eating in adolescents and current trends that may affect eating disorders and mental health for adolescents.

The Survey takes about 40 minutes to complete.  The questions will cover eating and exercise habits, family and peer eating habits, peer support, family relationships, substance abuse, social media use, body image and emotional and psychological wellbeing.

The survey is targeted at adolescents in Years 7-11 in 2020 and is to be completed online.  Students who elect to complete the survey will need to read the documentation on the link below and will also require parent/guardian consent.

The link will put students in direct contact with Shauna Byrne and the Research Team at UTS.
