Family body talk, wellbeing and eating attitudes
25 June 2020
The purpose of this project is to increase our understanding of how families discuss body weight, shape and appearance, and if/how this relates to young people’s (aged 18-25 years) wellbeing, eating attitudes and kindness towards themselves. We are particularly interested in understanding these aspects within the context of COVID-19/Coronavirus, which has changed many day-to-day routines and impacted upon the time young people are spending at home and in the company of their families.
