Sharing on behalf of a friend who’s looking for volunteers for her honours project. Was wondering if some people in this group would be interested in helping? See details below:

I am currently embarking on my 4th year Honours Project in Food, Health and Nutrition at Abertay University and I am looking for Female participants aged 18 - 40 for an intervention I am carrying out over 4 weeks to look at the effect reducing Ultra Processed Food has on health.

The study will take place between mid-February and mid-March and will involve the trialling of a new food/recipe swap tool that I have created to reduce UPF intake. This study will also include online motivational support.
