Abstract

Objective: To compare different methods for assessing the features of eating disorders in patients with binge eating disorder (BED). Research Methods and Procedures: A total of 47 participants with BED were administered the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) Interview and completed the EDE‐Questionnaire (EDE‐Q) at baseline. A total of 37 participants prospectively self‐monitored their eating behaviors daily for 4 weeks and then completed another EDE‐Q. Results: At baseline, the EDE and the EDE‐Q were significantly correlated on frequencies of objective bulimic episodes (binge eating), overeating episodes, and on the dietary restraint, eating concern, weight concern, and shape concern subscales. Mean differences in the EDE and EDE‐Q frequencies of objective bulimic episodes and overeating were not significant but scores on the four subscales differed significantly, with the EDE‐Q yielding higher scores. At the 4‐week point, the EDE‐Q retrospective 28‐day assessment was significantly correlated with the prospective daily self‐monitoring records for frequency of objective bulimic episodes and the mean difference between the methods was not significant. The EDE‐Q and self‐monitoring findings for subjective bulimic episodes and objective overeating differed significantly. Discussion: In patients with BED, the three assessment methods showed some areas of acceptable convergence.

  • The validity of the assessment of binge-eating behavior can be increased when it is measured from self-monitoring data or by an investigator-based interview such as the ED examination.

    “the validity of the assessment of binge-eating behavior can be increased when measured from selfmonitoring data (Grilo et al., 2001) or by the use of an investigator based interview, such as the ED examination (Cooper & Fairburn, 1987).”

    From Effectiveness of web-based guided self-help cognitive behavioral therapy-enhanced for binge-eating disorder: An implementation study (2024) · cites this paper as Grilo et al., 2001

    The Discussion supports the potential value of self-monitoring, saying it might eliminate some biases and is important for assessing overeating behaviors. But it explicitly says the study cannot determine which method produces the most valid estimates, so it does not establish that self-monitoring increases validity. The interview portion of the citing sentence is attributed to Cooper and Fairburn, not to Grilo et al. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
