In a thorough review of literature of eating disorders in men, it is consistently shown that symptom presentation varies greatly by gender. However, almost all eating disorder instruments have been developed and validated on females. These critical differences between men and women in symptom presentation provoke the necessity to develop a male specific eating disorder assessment tool. The development of the EDAM is described, and in a study of 108 clients of residential treatment facilities, results of the preliminary version of the EDAM are shown. Internal consistency reliability is supported and factor analysis loadings are provided. Results from a logistical regression support the EDAM's ability to predict eating disorders in men.
在对男性进食障碍文献的全面回顾中，一致表明症状表现因性别而异。然而，几乎所有的进食障碍量表都是针对女性开发和验证的。男性和女性在症状表现上的这些显著差异促使我们有必要开发一种专门针对男性的进食障碍评估工具。本文描述了 EDAM 的开发过程，并展示了在对 108 名住院治疗设施客户的初步研究中 EDAM 的初步版本的结果。内部一致性信度得到支持，因子分析负荷也得到了提供。逻辑回归的结果支持 EDAM 预测男性进食障碍的能力。
