Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q): Norms for Black women

Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE‐Q) in Norwegian Adults: Discrimination between Female Controls and Eating Disorder Patients

“…Results indicated a 93% probability that a randomly selected individual from the ED sample will have a higher EDE-Q score than an individual from the control group. Recent studies have continued to utilize global scores of 4.0 to classify participants falling in the 'clinical range' (Giovazolias et al, 2013;Kelly et al, 2012;Penelo et al, 2013), and our findings add to a growing body of data that question this approach. Our finding that a cut-off score of ≥ 2.50 yielded the optimal validity coefficients in the total sample is consistent with ROC studies by Mond et al (2004b), yet a higher cut-off score than that proposed by Machado et al (2014), which might attribute to different methodological approaches or sample composition.…”

“…Based on original and clinically derived recommendations from the EDE interview (Fairburn & Beglin, 1994), a mean global score of 4.0 has been used as a threshold of ED psychopathology in community studies of the EDE-Q (Giovazolias et al, 2013;Kelly, Cotter, & Mazzeo, 2012;Penelo et al, 2013). However, there is evidence from clinical settings showing that nearly half of patients diagnosed with an ED obtain a mean global score of less than 4.0 (Aardoom, Dingemans, Slof Op't Landt, & Van Furth, 2012;Welch et al, 2011).…”

“…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). …”

“…See Table 1 for additional demographic information. The mean EDE-Q global score for the FAB sample was 0.98, indicating, on average, this group had relatively low levels of ED psychopathology [note that past non-clinical samples of undergraduate women had mean EDE-Q global scores ranging from 1.54 to 1.74 with standard deviations ranging from 1.29 to 1.32 [ (Kelly, Cotter, & Mazzeo, 2012;Luce, Crowther, & Pole, 2008;Mond, Hay, Rodgers, Owen, & Beumont, 2004)].…”
