The method of data collection that will be used is surveys. The research method will require use of internet to conduct the research. This will use web mail or email questionnaires, which can include QuestionPro and SurveyMonkey, which enable users, develop web-based surveys. The method largely depends on questionnaires as one of the fundamental resources in the research process. The method will entail asking questions to targeted sample group. Therefore, to conduct the research, there is a need for telephone facilities that will enable the researchers talk to their respondents effectively. Telephone will enable the researchers conduct their research and get the needed feedback in good time. Mails will also be required in conducting the research through survey method. Mails need postal services to distribute the mails to a large population. There is need for data analysis facilities, which include computers and computer software that will be used to conduct and analyze surveys. Spreadsheet programs, which include Open Office Calc, Microsoft Excel, and Minitab, are needed. The resources will be valuable in digging out the much needed information that will enlighten public of effects of eating disorders. The resources also will assist researchers in finding the basis or the root cause of eating disorders, thus enabling health practitioners to give satisfactory advice and treatment to victims. Personnel In the research proposal, a project leader is needed. The project leader will oversee all the research processes and ensure that all the due processes are followed. He also has the role of drafting survey instruments and structuring the questions needed in the survey process. This means that the project leader will have the mandate of managing and overseeing the entire project to its completion. Sponsor or the champion in the project is significant personnel. The project champion has the role of ensuring that the project gets enough finances and tackles any external interference. The project champion deals with any political intrusion that is likely to interfere with the project, argue for any financial budgetary, and ensures that other members assigned to the project play their roles. The other personnel needed are the project team. The project teams have the role of refinement and reviewing the body of survey instrument ...
