The final workstream in EDIFY is about arts-based knowledge mobilisation. Four artists-in-residence at EDIFY worked across illustration, textile, digital media, sculpture and animation — bringing research findings to life through personal stories.

EDIFY's STORY study has recruited 941 participants using remote measurement and speech recordings to explore what helps or hinders recovery from eating disorders. They have found important language and vocal clues that might indicate eating disorders.

Students moving away for university face loneliness, isolation, and disrupted support networks. Universities must foster social connection to improve mental health outcomes.

A recruitment poster titled “REFLECT – Now Recruiting Participants.” The poster explains that the study explores how loneliness is experienced by young people with eating disorders, what it feels like day to day, how it is shaped by personal circumstances, and how it may be linked to eating disorders. It states that listening to diverse experiences can help inform better assessments and personalised interventions to support young people. Who we’re looking for: Young people aged 16–25 Living in the UK With current or past experience of any eating disorder With current or past experience of loneliness What’s involved: A short online survey A one-hour online interview At the bottom are contact details: EDIFYresearch@kcl.ac.uk and www.EDIFYresearch.co.uk , along with logos for EDIFY, King’s College London, and The University of Edinburgh. The background features soft blue and green wave shapes.

📢 Call for participants

Previous research has found links between eating disorders and loneliness, but we still know little about how these experiences feel in everyday life.

Foundation-funded research, led by Dr Aja Murray at @schoolofppls.bsky.social, finds that emotional outbursts in childhood may be linked to depression and anxiety in teenage years.

Helping children to develop emotion regulation skills early could make a difference. 🔗⏬

#EatingDisorders #EarlyIntervention

What really matters in early intervention for eating disorders? We want to hear from you – those with lived experience, families, clinicians, researchers, anyone involved.

Seeking support for an eating disorder: a qualitative analysis of the university student experience—accessibility of support for students - Journal of Eating Disorders Background While there is increased concern around mental health problems in universities, the experience of students with eating disorders (EDs) has received less attention. This is problematic as…

Our study surveyed 100 students and interviewed 18 to uncover their struggles with Eating Disorders support. Many lacked awareness of available services or found them unsuitable.

Do you or someone you know have experience of being a father of someone with an eating disorder? Please consider taking part in our study!

A study poster with bright colours and shapes, with two people exchanging books in the bottom right corner. The text reads: "We want to hear your STORY! Join the STORY study! Are you... between 16-25 years, and have an eating disorder, or have no eating disorder or major mental health diagnoses? The STORY study is a one-year long study to explore the diverse experiences of young people with eating disorders and how they recover from them. Interested? Contact us under: STORY@kcl.ac.uk"

For day 4 of #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek, we're sharing work from EDIFY Workstreams 3/4!

These Workstreams are focused on understanding how young people recover from their eating disorder and how their eating disorder changes over time. As such, we are recruiting for STORY.
