Hi all, As part of a research project at the EHESS (School for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences, Paris), my team and I are running a study on users of pro-ana / pro-mia websites in France and UK. The approach mainly brings together social network analysis and qualitative fieldworks. We would love to hear from people working on pro-ana blogs, forums and SNS targeting teenagers and young adults. Ethical implications are particularly challenging at this stage of our project, as they overcome the domain of ED-related online communities. Parental consent for younger respondents, for instance, seems to represent a major setback given the biases it might introduce in sample recruitment. Potential consequences for participants (being rushed to out their pro-ED identity to their parents if they want to take part in the study) should also be addressed. If, in the course of your own resarch, you have faced the same issues, how did you deal with them? Cheers for now, Antonio -- Antonio A.
