Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to rapidly accelerate knowledge about the biology of avoidant and restrictive food intake disorder or ARFID in children ages 7-17 and in adults. The investigators will be evaluating the genetic and environmental origins of ARFID. Participants will be asked to answer questionnaires online and to submit a saliva sample for DNA using a kit that will be mailed to their home.
