Examining Neuroendocrine and Microbiome Biomarkers in Youth with Eating Disorders (BMED)

PI: Dr. Mark Norris

Researchers at CHEO are studying how eating disorders affect the body by looking at biological markers (“biomarkers”), which help show how signalling pathways in the body are working.

We are recruiting youth aged 11-17 for the control group!

  • Participation will take place at CHEO and involves the following:
  • Blood sample
  • Stool (poop) sample
  • Smell and taste test
  • Questionnaires
  • Food log

Participants will receive $65 and 1 hour of volunteer service.
