Researchers at the University of Western Sydney are currently seeking volunteers with a diagnosis of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) to participate in two studies currently being carried out.
The first study is an online investigation of BDD and emotional health and well-being. Anonymous participation only requires about 20 - 25 minutes of your time, and your responses will provide valuable information that will directly assist mental healthcare professionals working with BDD. If you would like to participate please follow this link to the online survey site.
