Title of project:
Development of Picky eating and Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder: predictors, correlates and longitudinal outcomes
Proposal summary:
Picky eating is a common behaviour in children, that can range from being a normal phase in child development to a severe problem that causes negative physical and psychological consequences for the child and greatly impacts families. In its extreme picky eating can be part of Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID); a debilitating feeding and eating disorder characterized by avoidant/restrictive eating by volume and/or variety resulting in important physical, health, and social consequences. As ARFID is a relatively new diagnosis, little is known about its longitudinal course and outcomes. Very little research is available on manifestations of ARFID in the general population.
