“…The DAWBA can be administered by interview or can be completed online by patients and their parents. The online version has been shown to produce broadly similar prevalence estimates for disorders as those produced using interview techniques, in both a general population sample and a sample affected by neurological disorder [Goodman, 2013] and agreement with clinical diagnosis of specific disorders has been shown to range between 74 and 99% in an outpatient sample [Aebi et al, 2012]. The DAWBA uses closed and open‐ended questions that cover the operationalized diagnostic criteria of the DSM‐IV, DSM‐5 and ICD‐10 [American Psychiatric Association, 2000].…”

“…MHAT is one of the first large epidemiological studies on mental health that used online screening assessments for the majority of participants. Considering the rising significance and use of online assessments [ 50 , 51 ] this study can also contribute to this field of research. First results regarding the eating disorder risk indicate that online assessment is comparable to paper-pencil assessment [ 52 ].…”
