Comparison between the brief seven-item and full eating disorder examination-questionnaire (EDE-Q) in clinical and non-clinical female Norwegian samples.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) is among the most widely used self-report measures of eating disorder (ED) psychopathology. There is a need for brief versions of the EDE-Q that can be used for general assessment and screening purposes. A three-factor 7-item version (EDE-Q7) seems particularly promising but there is a need for more well-powered studies to establish the psychometric properties in both patient and community samples. Moreover, comparing the EDE-Q7 with the full EDE-Q would be beneficial in determining its utility. In the present study, we provide a psychometric comparison between the brief EDE-Q7 and the full EDE-Q in a large sample of both patients and community comparisons.
