include how convenience sampling was used to this information: Data collection is done through surveys, which are a cost-effective and efficient way to gather information from many participants. Surveys can be distributed widely and can collect both qualitative and quantitative data. The data is then analyzed to determine whether each participant has been diagnosed with an eating disorder or not. This binary outcome (diagnosis/no diagnosis) allows for clear comparisons and statistical analysis. Finally, the results are interpreted.

The findings can then be used to inform future research, policy, and practice
