EDGI UK (Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative)

The Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative (EDGI) is the UK’s largest ever research project on eating disorders. Our aim is to collect the psychological, medical, and genetic information of 10,000 people with experience of any eating disorder. This will help us to better understand the role both our genes and environment play in the development of these illnesses. A deeper understanding of eating disorders means we will be better equipped to help those who are experiencing them. EDGI UK is part of an international collaboration, with many countries coming together as part of the same initiative. For too long, eating disorders have been stigmatised by society, underrepresented in mental health research, and overlooked by research funding bodies. Together with your help, we want to change this. Help make a difference by signing up to EDGI UK today. You can take part in EDGI if you: -Have ever experienced or are experiencing any eating disorder (no diagnosis needed!) -Are 16 or over -Live in England
