Eating disorder examination-questionnaire with and without instruction to assess binge eating in patients with binge eating disorder

Article Abstract:

A study examined whether adding written definitions and examples of binge eating to the Eating Disorder Examination-questionnaire (EDE-Q) enhances its utility to assess binge frequency in patients with binge eating disorder (BED). Binge frequency correlations between the EDE and EDE-Q-1 were strongly significant, whereas correlations between the EDE and EDE-Q were not significant.
