Reconsidering the use of cut-off scores for the Eating Disorder Examination?Questionnaire

Meule, Adrian (2019): Reconsidering the use of cut-off scores for the Eating Disorder Examination?Questionnaire. In: Eating Disorders

Abstract

The Eating Disorder Examination?Questionnaire (EDE?Q) is one of the most widely used self-report measures for the assessment of eating disorder psychopathology. Numerous studies have provided norm data for different populations and suggested possible cut-off values for the EDE?Q global score that may indicate the presence of an eating disorder. This commentary argues against the unquestioned use of such cut-off scores as their application may often be unnecessary, disadvantageous, or inappropriate.
