Overeating among seriously overweight children seeking treatment: Results of the children's eating disorder examination

Article Abstract:

Eating Disorder Examination for children (ChEDE) is used in treating eating disorder symptoms among seriously overweight children and provides initial data about their association with the outcome of treatment. It is observed that a small number of overweight children seeking treatment reported an episodic sense of loss of control over eating related to other disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, though this did not affect the outcome of treatment.

Evaluating binge eating disorder in children: Development of the children's binge eating disorder scale (C-BEDS)

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to develop a brief, simple, structured, interviewer-administered scale (C-BEDS) to measure BED in children according to the provisional criteria and to compare diagnostic results with Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnosis of DSM-IV disorders (SCID) diagnoses. Both the provisional criteria and the C-BEDS might be developmentally appropriate for use with children and might assist physicians and other health providers to identify early onset binge eating behaviors and avoid the associated consequences including adult BED, obesity and other comorbidities.
