"Do you suffer
from emetophobia - Would you like help with
research? Do you need help for emetophobia?
There is still a lot to learn about emetophobia
and we are carrying out various research
projects that aim to help us find out more about
emetophobia and its treatment
a) We are conducting a study that aims to create
a new questionnaire that will be able to measure
the severity of emetophobic symptoms and help
therapists track the changes in symptoms over
time. We are also trying to find out how often
people with emetophobia vomit in a given year
compared to the general population. This will
involve filling in some questionnaires online
and keeping a record of each time you vomit over
the next 2 years.
b) We are conducting a study that involves a
detailed interview with a psychologist about the
development of your emetophobia.
If you would be interested in participating in
this research or would just like some more
information please contact Nell by email
Nell.Ellison@iop.kcl.ac.uk or by phone on 0203
228 3212. By replying you do not commit yourself
to anything, she will simply give you some more
information and give you the opportunity to ask
questions.
