Your participation is requested in a study designed to measure distress in a sample of people with morbid obesity who is involved in Internet support sites for weight loss surgery.
The study has four criteria:
1) ages 18-80 years
2) United States citizenship
3) reading at a 6th grade level
4) not currently an in-patient at a Mental Health Facility.
There is minimal risk for participants, and there is possible change in the way that professionals assess, treat, and provide aftercare to people who struggle with the issues of distress, weight loss surgery, and obesity. The study is confidential and factors that may identify participants will be removed. However, even the most respected researcher can not completely guarantee confidentiality.
