Just for Sisters!

Do you have a sister? I am looking for sister pairs where: 

  • One sister is/has been affected by BN, and one has not

All sisters will be invited to take part in a ‘puzzles’ session that takes about 45-60 min, at our unit in Guy’s hospital (London Bridge station). There are also a couple of interviews to do, talking about your eating and other everyday behaviours. I will also collect a blood sample for DNA. All together, it will require about 2- 2.5 hours of your time.

If this sounds like something that you and your sister/s would like to help out with, then I would love to hear from you! Your participation is very valuable. You will receive £30 as a thank you for your time, along with reimbursement for reasonable travel costs.

Please email marion.roberts@iop.kcl.ac.uk or phone 0207 188 0181 if you would like to take part in this study, or have a quick chat about it. I would be most grateful if you could include the information below in your email. I will post you an information sheet and some questionnaires to get you started with the study.
