Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the reliability of scores on the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) and the Eating Disorder Examination‐Questionnaire (EDE‐Q) and to examine the validity of their use as measures of eating disorder symptoms. Method: Articles describing the psychometric properties of the EDE and EDE‐Q were identified in a systematic search of major computer databases and a review of reference lists. Articles were selected based on a priori inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Fifteen studies were identified that examined the psychometrics of the EDE, whereas 10 studies were found that examined the psychometrics of the EDE‐Q. Discussion: Both instruments demonstrated reliability of scores. There is evidence that scores on the EDE and EDE‐Q correlate with scores on measures of similar constructs and support for using the instruments to distinguish between cases and non‐cases. Additional research is needed to broaden the generalizability of the findings. © 2011 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Int J Eat Disord 2012;)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
