Hi, my name is Jennifer Germain and I am a PhD student based at Public Health Institute, Liverpool John Moores University

I am not sure where to post this or if I am allowed to so if a mod could advise then that would be great.

I am researching the use of weight loss methods in females and would really like to hear your experiences. I am also really interested in how online communities are used as way of sharing information which is why I am posting here.

If you are female and have ever taken an unlicensed weight loss substance (Dinitrophenol, Sibutramine or Rimonabant) then I would like to hear your experiences. For the opportunity to take part in an anonymous interview or for more information then please message me

I am also interviewing forum moderators about their experiences of moderating health related forums so if any moderators would like to take part then again please message me.

If possible in your message could you please supply an email address.

Many thanks,

Jenny
