Researchers at the University of Oxford are recruiting individuals with and without Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) to participate in research.

Participation will involve completing a 30–45-minute online survey. Individuals will be asked to answer questions about their general demographics, their experiences in close/intimate relationship(s) and their experiences of sensitivity to rejection. Individuals with experience of BDD will also be asked a few additional questions about their BDD. Participants will not need to provide any identifying information, and all responses will be stored securely.
