Developing Eating Disorder Psychoeducation Tools for Coaches

Understanding the needs of coaches in weight-sensitive and less weight-sensitive sports

Researchers at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute (CHEO RI) are inviting athletic coaches to participate in a 60-minute discussion group. The purpose of this discussion is to gather insights about coaches' current level of knowledge about eating disorders, which will be used to develop consumer-friendly eating disorder educational resources for coaches.

Who is eligible to participate?

You are eligible if you are:

• over 18 years of age
• currently an athletic coach or have coached within the last 5 years
• living in Canada and able to communicate in English

No previous knowledge of eating disorders is required. The research team is interested in hearing from coaches with a range of different levels of experience with this topic.

What is involved?

A one-time, 60-minute discussion group online via Zoom.
