COP3 - QUESTIONNAIRES FOR SYEDA
Below shows three sets of questions which have been carefully worded and put together in preparation for my visit to SYEDA tomorrow. One has been put together for Mike, whilst the other two are for both patient and carer, and are to be given out and completed anonymously in the support groups which run throughout the week. These will then be sent back to me for analysis and use in my dissertation. I am curious to see whether charities have noticed a rise in eating disorders due to the media, and the commercialisation of female bodies.
