A psychometric analysis and revalidation of the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale modified for Binge Eating in adults with binge eating disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale modified for Binge Eating (Y-BOCS-BE) assesses the obsessiveness of binge eating thoughts and compulsiveness of binge eating behaviors. The findings of this study extend previously published Y-BOCS-BE psychometric evaluations in adults with binge eating disorder (BED).

Methods

Data from three phase 3 lisdexamfetamine dimesylate studies in adults with BED (two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled short-term efficacy studies; one double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized-withdrawal maintenance-of-efficacy study) were used. Psychometric evaluations included assessment of Y-BOCS-BE dimensionality, internal consistency, convergent validity, test?retest reliability, and determinations of clinically meaningful improvement
