The SEED intervention is an interactive, personalised, and self-directed participant program. The program aims to educate participants about their eating disorder symptoms, including psychoeducation about the cyclical nature and negative consequences of their symptoms.

The program aims to assist participants to develop their own personalised strategies and plans to break these cycles and combat their symptoms. Interactive components of the program include brief self-assessments of eating disorder symptoms with personalised results and recommendations, quizzes to assess knowledge and challenge myths, audio-based exercises, space to journal and develop personalised plans and challenges, and weekly progress reports.

Indeed, it is estimated that only 25% of individuals with an ED receive treatment.

What is an eating disorder?

An eating disorder is a serious mental illness characterised by disturbances to thoughts, behaviours and attitudes to food and eating.

Up to 10% of individuals in Australia will experience an eating disorder (ED) in their lifetime (National Eating Disorder Collaboration; NEDC, 2012).

EDs (including sub-clinical/prodromal EDs) are associated with high levels of medical and psychological comorbidities and poor quality of life (Griffiths et al., 2016; NEDC, 2012).

EMBodIED new brand.
Even more: Engaging Minds in Body Image and Eating Disorders Research.

About us:
The Engaging Minds in Body Image and Eating Disorders (EMBodIED) Research team is a group of expert and skilled researchers whose work focuses on:

* understanding the development of body image in children
* uncovering risk factors for body dissatisfaction and eating disorders
* evaluating prevention and treatment interventions for these problems.

We work on cross-sectional, experimental, longitudinal and intervention research across the lifespan, with a focus on how body dissatisfaction and eating problems develop, and how treatment and education programs can be used to reduce or prevent them.
