Protocol - Eating Disorder Screener for DSM-5

Add to My Toolkit
Description

This protocol is a revised version of the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (EDDS) that is updated for diagnostic changes in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th ed. (DSM-5). The EDDS-5 is a 23-item self-report scale that simultaneously assesses anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder by asking the respondent about body image, eating habits, and compensatory behaviors over the last 3-6 months. The EDDS-5 does not include pica (persistent eating of substances with no nutrition, such as dirt or paint), rumination disorder, or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).

Eating Disorders Screener

Release Date

May 12, 2010

Definition

A questionnaire to assess eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, which is a refusal to maintain normal weight, and bulimia nervosa, which is characterized by episodes of binge eating followed by vomiting, use of laxatives, or fasting (APA, 2000).

Purpose

This measure is used to screen an individual for the presence of an eating disorder. Eating disorders are more prevalent among women in industrialized nations and range from 0.5% for anorexia nervosa to 3.0% for bulimia nervosa. Eating disorders are accompanied by unhealthy attitudes about body shape and weight and co-occur with a number of other disorders, including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders. Nutritional deficiencies associated with eating disorders can lead to renal failure, cardiovascular disease, and menstrual problems (APA, 2000).

Keywords

Psychiatric, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, binge eating, fasting, laxatives, diuretics, body mass index, BMI, body image
