EATING DISORDER SURVEY

Hi my name is Amy, I am a student studying Community and Family Studies as part of the 2008 Higher School Certificate course. As the basis for my current Independent Research project I have chosen to investigate whether there is enough support for sufferers of eating disorders and I aim to determine the main causes and age category of majority of the sufferers.
