Assessing Risk of Developing an Eating Disorder
British investigators have developed a five-question screening tool called the SCOFF Questionnaire for recognizing eating disorders:†
1. Do you make yourself Sick because you feel full?
2. Do you lose Control over how much you eat?
3. Have you lost more than One stone (about 13 pounds) recently?
4. Do you believe yourself to be Fat when others say you are thin?
5. Does Food dominate your life?
Two or more positive responses suggest an eating disorder.
1. After completing this questionnaire, do you feel that you might have an eating disorder or the potential to develop one?
