Abstract Background The Eating Disorder Examination – Questionnaire Short (EDE-QS) was developed as a 12-item version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) with a 4-point response scale that assesses eating disorder (ED) symptoms over the preceding 7 days. It has demonstrated good psychometric properties at initial testing. The purpose of this brief report is to determine a threshold score that could be used in screening for probable ED cases in community settings. Methods Data collected from Gideon et al. (2016) were re-analyzed. In their study, 559 participants (80.86% female; 9.66% self-reported ED diagnosis) completed the EDE-Q, EDE-QS, SCOFF, and Clinical Impairment Assessment (CIA). Discriminatory power was compared between ED instruments using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses. Results A score of 15 emerged as the threshold that ensured the best trade-off between sensitivity (.83) and specificity (.85), and good positive predictive value (.37) for the EDE-QS, with discriminatory power comparable to other ED instruments. Conclusion The EDE-QS appears to be an instrument with good discriminatory power that could be used for ED screening purposes.

Eating disorders are very complicated and many factors play a role in their manifestation. Furthermore, due to the variability in diagnosis and symptoms, treatment for an eating disorder is unique to the individual. As a result, there are numerous assessment tools available, which range from brief survey questionnaires to in-depth interviews conducted by a professional. One of the many benefits to using machine learning is that it offers new insight into datasets that researchers may not previously have, particularly when compared to traditional statistical methods. The aim of this paper was to employ k-means clustering to explore the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, Clinical Impairment Assessment, and Autism Quotient scores. The goal is to identify prevalent cluster topologies in the data, using the truth data as a means to validate identified groupings. Our results show that a model with k = 2 performs the best and clustered the dataset in the most appropriate way. This matches our truth data group labels, and we calculated our model’s accuracy at 78.125%, so we know that our model is working well. We see that the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and Clinical Impairment Assessment (CIA) scores are, in fact, important discriminators of eating disorder behavior.

Introduction: Eating disorder symptoms already occur in childhood and adolescence and are predictive of full-blown eating disorders and obesity later in life. To enhance the quality of assessment in youngsters, this study examined the convergence between the clinical interview, the Child Eating Disorder Examination (ChEDE), and the self-report questionnaire, the Child Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (ChEDE-Q). Method: Both instruments were administered in 12- to 16-year-old boys and girls retrieved from the general population (N = 57, Mage = 13.4). Results: The results showed that there was a strong correlation between the interview and the questionnaire and that the subscale scores of the two research instruments did not significantly differ. Discussion: The present study is among the first to confirm the utility of the ChEDE-Q to screen for eating disorder symptoms in adolescents from the general population. Large-scale studies should further determine whether these preliminary findings can be generalised.
