The Anorectic Behavior Observation Scale (ABOS) is a new self-reporting questionnaire developed to obtain information from parents about specific behaviors and attitudes in their children that might be symptomatic for anorexia or bulimia nervosa. Parents of 191 eating disorder patients and 174 female students completed the questionnaire. Using a cut-off score of 19, the ABOS has a sensitivity of 90.0% and a specificity of 89.6%. A comparison with a clinician's evaluation of the patients' behavior and, in the control group, with the subjects' own judgement, revealed that parents generally give reliable information. The ABOS may be used as a valuable supplement to existing screening instruments for eating disorders.
厌食行为观察量表（ABOS）是一种新开发的自我报告问卷，旨在从家长那里获取有关其子女可能患有神经性厌食症或神经性贪食症症状的特定行为和态度的信息。191名饮食失调患者的家长和174名女学生填写了该问卷。使用19分的临界值，ABOS的敏感度为90.0%，特异度为89.6%。与临床医生对患者行为的评估以及对照组中受试者自身的判断进行比较后发现，家长通常能提供可靠信息。ABOS可作为现有饮食失调筛查工具的有价值补充。
