“…The EDE‐Q discriminates accurately between those with and without an ED diagnosis (Aardoom et al, 2012; Berg, Peterson, Frazier, & Crow, 2012). Cronbach's α (Cronbach, 1951) for EDE‐Q global scores in the current sample was 0.81, with a mean EDE‐Q score of 4.86 (SD = 0.69), which is similar to mean scores reported for AN groups in other studies where mean global EDE‐Q scores >3.60 have been found (Aardoom et al, 2012; Brewin, Baggott, Dugard, & Arcelus, 2014; Jennings & Phillips, 2017; Smith et al, 2017).…”

The anorexic voice (AV) is defined as a critical internal dialogue, which has been implicated in the development and maintenance of anorexia nervosa (AN). Systematic research to explore this further requires a valid and reliable measurement tool. This study aimed to develop and assess the validity of the Experience of an Anorexic VoicE Questionnaire (EAVE-Q). EAVE-Q items were developed and checked for face and content validity through cognitive interviews with seven individuals diagnosed with AN. Participants with a diagnosis of AN (N = 148) completed the EAVE-Q, sociodemographic questions and measures of mood and quality of life to assess internal consistency and construct validity. Forty-nine participants completed the EAVE-Q twice more to assess test-retest reliability. The EAVE-Q had good face and content validity and good acceptability. Principal axis factoring resulted in an 18-item scale organized into five domains with high internal consistency (α = 0.70 to α = 0.85). Domains correlated significantly with eating disorder symptoms, psychological distress, and quality of life. The EAVE-Q did not discriminate between participants on the basis of body mass index. Test-retest reliability was moderate. Although the factor structure of the EAVE-Q requires replication in other AN samples, the EAVE-Q is the first measure of a critical internal dialogue in AN. It is hoped that it will aid future research to increase understanding of AN and the continued development of person-centred treatments.

“…However, the EDE‐Q was developed for women ages 16–35 (Fairburn & Beglin, 1994), and data on its psychometric properties in adolescents is extremely limited. Available studies examined the factor structure of the EDE‐Q in adolescents ages 14–18 (White, Haycraft, Goodwin, & Meyer, 2014), demonstrating good internal consistency of the measure, and demonstrated some evidence of validity in adolescent inpatients ages 11–18, given significantly higher global scores for those with binge/purge type AN compared to those with restrictive type AN (Jennings & Phillips, 2017). There are currently two adolescent‐specific adaptations of the EDE‐Q—the Eating Questionnaire‐A (EDE‐A; CORC, 2020) and the Youth Eating Disorder Examination‐Questionnaire (YEDE‐Q; Goldschmidt, Doyle, & Wilfley, 2007).…”

Objective Despite evidence supporting the use of measures to track ongoing progress and outcome in treatment, there is a relative absence of measures that are appropriate for this purpose in youth with eating disorders. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Eating Disorder‐15 for Youth (ED‐15‐Y) scale, including its ability to detect short‐term change in symptomatology. Method Youth (N = 203) ages 8–18 years completed self‐report questionnaires and semi‐structured diagnostic interviews upon initial presentation for an outpatient eating disorders assessment at an academic medical center. Results The ED‐15‐Y demonstrated excellent reliability (internal consistency, split‐half reliability) and high sensitivity to change early in treatment (change from sessions 1 to 8, adjusting for baseline score). Further, these data demonstrate that the ED‐15‐Y has excellent convergent validity, being highly correlated with a well‐tested, longer measure of eating disorders psychopathology—the Eating Disorders Examination‐Questionnaire (EDE‐Q). These data also support good discriminant and concurrent validity, differentiating between youth without an eating disorder or with ARFID and youth with eating disorders involving weight and shape concerns (e.g., anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa). Discussion The ED‐15‐Y may be a useful tool to briefly assess eating disorder psychopathology in youth as young as 8 years old. Its sensitivity to change very early in treatment suggests that it has the potential to be used as a routine outcome measure in the context of treatment.

“…Additionally, she consumed more calories during an open meal presented to her prior to and following ABIE. To evaluate whether the client's progress demonstrated significant clinically meaningful change, we calculated reliable change indices (RCI; Jacobson & Truax, ) utilizing norms from a sample of adolescents with AN (Jennings & Phillips, ). The Global Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE‐Q) score and subscales before and after the 6 IE sessions were examined with scores above 1.96 indicating change not solely due to instrument reliability (e.g., Wise, ).…”

Objective The current case report details the treatment of a 16‐year‐old adolescent with anorexia nervosa utilizing a novel adjunct, acceptance‐based interoceptive exposure, prior to family‐based treatment (FBT) for eating disorders. Method The exposure‐based module focused particularly on the tolerance of disgust. For six sessions, the clinician taught the client skills that could be used to tolerate distress to visceral sensations associated with disgust. These skills were to be used during in‐ and between‐session exposures. Each session included exposure to physical sensations that occurred while drinking a milkshake. Results Across six sessions, the client reported improvement in symptoms in addition to gaining weight. Additionally, she consumed more calories of a test meal following the intervention. Within broader FBT, the client reached an established weight goal, was able to return to physical activity, and reported an increased ability to manage distress. Discussion Given the client's improvement on the Eating Disorders Examination‐Questionnaire (EDE‐Q) within six sessions, we believe IE may be a useful adjunct to FBT. Interoceptive exposure may augment the efficacy of FBT for anorexia nervosa as it provides clients with skills to utilize during the refeeding phase of treatment.
