Seeking focus group participants – your voice is important!
In May 2024, the CHEO Research Institute hosted a pan-Canadian consortium of over 40 eating disorders experts and partners. Participants identified four key recommendations for improving eating disorders data and monitoring in Canada. The CHEO team is now seeking consultation from people who could not attend the consortium event, including service users, caregivers, and front-line staff, for input on the four recommendations and quotes to capture their experiences. Consultation will include participation in a two-hour focus group conducted over Zoom in early December.
