My Fulbright research will guide treatment and care for ARFID in Australia by developing a protocol to improve oral intake for individuals with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder.
Copeland Winten is a researcher and clinical dietitian at Queensland University of Technology and Queensland Eating Disorders Service. Her PhD focused on the provision of treatment for individuals living with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). Her work was the first to trial and evaluate therapy for adults with ARFID in Australia.
As a Fulbright Scholar, Copeland will be supported by the Eating Disorder Clinical and Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital/ Harvard University. Here, she will design a protocol to support people with ARFID who rely on tube feeding in transitioning to oral intake.
