Existing self-report methods for assessing eating disorder (ED) symptoms in youth do not adequately measure binge eating and lack sufficient psychometric support. The Youth Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (YEDE-Q), a self-report version of the Child Eating Disorder Examination (ChEDE), was designed to assess the spectrum of ED psychopathology in youth.
The YEDE-Q was compared to the ChEDE and the Questionnaire for Eating and Weight Patterns-Adolescent version (QEWP-A) in a sample of 35 overweight adolescents aged 12-17.
The YEDE-Q showed significant agreement (ps < .001) with the ChEDE on all four subscale scores, the global score, and measurement of objective bulimic episodes. The YEDE-Q and the QEWP-A showed significant agreement (ps < .001) on the measurement of shape and weight concerns.
The YEDE-Q appears promising in the assessment of eating-related pathology in overweight adolescents, but remains in need of validation in children and ED populations.
现有的用于评估青少年饮食失调(ED)症状的自我报告方法无法充分测量暴饮暴食情况,且缺乏足够的心理测量学支持。青少年饮食失调检查问卷(YEDE-Q)是儿童饮食失调检查(ChEDE)的自我报告版本,旨在评估青少年饮食失调心理病理学的范围。
在35名年龄在12至17岁的超重青少年样本中,将YEDE-Q与ChEDE以及饮食与体重模式问卷-青少年版(QEWP-A)进行比较。
YEDE-Q在所有四个子量表得分、总体得分以及客观暴食发作的测量方面与ChEDE显示出显著一致性(p值 < .001)。YEDE-Q和QEWP-A在体型和体重担忧的测量方面显示出显著一致性(p值 < .001)。
YEDE-Q在评估超重青少年与饮食相关的病理学方面似乎很有前景,但仍需要在儿童和饮食失调人群中进行验证。
