Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Other interventions - Eating disorder diagnosis group

Anorexia Nervosa Case - Participants in this group have a life-time history of anorexia nervosa as determined by an algorithm applied to their responses to an eating disorders screening questionnaire (ED100K) that is based on the Structured Clinical Interview for Axis 1 Disorders.

Bulimia Nervosa Case - Participants in this group have a life-time history of bulimia nervosa as determined by an algorithm applied to their responses to an eating disorders screening questionnaire (ED100K) that is based on the Structured Clinical Interview for Axis 1 Disorders. These participants do not have a history of anorexia nervosa.

Binge-Eating Disorder Case - Participants in this group have a life-time history of binge-eating disorder as determined by an algorithm applied to their responses to an eating disorders screening questionnaire (ED100K) that is based on the Structured Clinical Interview for Axis 1 Disorders. These participants do not have a history of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa.

Control - Participants in this group have no history of disordered eating behaviors as determined by an algorithm applied to their responses to an eating disorders screening questionnaire (ED100K) that is based on the Structured Clinical Interview for Axis 1 Disorders.


Other interventions: Eating disorder diagnosis group
This is an observational study, no active intervention is applied. Participants are assigned to an eating disorder diagnosis group based on their lifetime history of disordered eating behaviors and symptoms.

Summary
Brief summary
The overarching intention of the Eating Disorder Genetics Initiative (EDGI) is to lay the foundation for all future genomic discovery in eating disorders--anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge-eating disorder (BED)--by exploring both genetic and behavioral factors. To do this, information will be collected from 4000 people who have provided DNA samples for the Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative (ANGI) and the same information and DNA will be collected from an additional 16,000 people. The goal is to better understand eating disorders and how they relate to each other so that better treatments can be developed.
