Norms and discriminative validity of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q)

Eating Disorder Examination–Questionnaire (EDE–Q): Norms for Clinical Sample of Female Adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa

“…In other words, female adolescents in the present study reported greater severity of eating disorder psychopathology compared to healthy female adolescents. Compared to previously published research on female adolescents with AN, mean EDE-Q subscale scores were higher and the global EDE-Q score were either higher or similar in the present study (Aardoom et al, 2012; Mantilla & Birgegard, 2016; Passi, Bryson, & Lock, 2003). The difference in scores may be explained by the setting from which patients were recruited.…”

“…Additionally, normative data provides a baseline distribution in a representative sample of individuals with eating disorders and establishes a baseline for comparison to healthy controls and individuals who have recovered from an eating disorder. Currently, normative data exists in a myriad of adult populations such as undergraduate students (Darcy, Hardy, Lock, Hill, & Peebles, 2013; Keane, Clarke, McGrath, Farrelly, & MacHale, 2017; Kelly, Cotter, & Mazzeo, 2012; Lavender, De Young, & Anderson, 2010; Luce & Crowther, 1999; Luce, Crowther, & Pole, 2008; Nakai et al, 2014; Quick & Byrd-Bredbenner, 2013; Reas, Overas, & Ro, 2012; Ro, Reas, & Lask, 2010; Villarroel, Penelo, Portell, & Raich, 2011), community samples (Hilbert, de Zwaan, & Braehler, 2012; Machado et al, 2014; Mond, Hay, Rodgers, & Owen, 2006; Mond, Hay, Rodgers, Owen, & Beumont, 2004), eating disorder (ED) samples (Brewin, Baggott, Dugard, & Arcelus, 2014; Dahlgren, Stedal, & Ro, 2017; Jennings & Phillips, 2017; Smith et al, 2017), and both ED and community samples (Aardoom, Dingemans, Slof Op’t Landt, & Van Furth, 2012; Welch, Birgegard, Parling, & Ghaderi, 2011). …”

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Women Diagnosed With Binge Eating Disorder: A Case-Series Study

“…The EDE-Q has adequate psychometric properties in both clinical and community samples (Fairburn & Bèglin, 1994;Luce & Crowther, 1999;Wilfley, Schwartz, Spurrell, & Fairburn, 1997). In a recent study using the EDE-Q, internal consistency was high, with Cronbach's alphas of .95 for the global score (Aardoom, Dingemans, Slof Op't Landt, & Van Furth, 2012).…”

Mental contamination: Relationship with psychopathology and transdiagnostic processes

“…'have you had a definite desire to have a totally flat stomach' is rated on a seven-point scale from 0 = not one day to 6 = every day. The EDE-Q has excellent internal consistency (α = .95; Aardoom, Dingemans, Slof Op't Landt, & Van Furth, 2012), and good discriminant validity (Aardoom et al, 2012) and test-retest reliability (r = .88; Berg, Peterson, Frazier, & Crow, 2011). The 22 item score has been used as the primary indicator of MENTAL CONTAMINATION: RELATIONSHIP WITH PSYCHOPATHOLOGY 8 outcome in treatment trials of eating disorders in children and adults (Le Grange, Crosby, Rathouz, & Leventhal, 2007;Fairburn et al, 2009;Lock et al, 2010;Wade, Treasure, & Schmidt, 2011).…”
