Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q, version 6.0).
Time Frame: 5 months
The EDE-Q is a widely used self-report measure of eating disorder psychopathology (Fairburn \& Beglin, 2008). It contains 28 items investigating eating disorder behaviours and attitudes during the past 28 days. It includes four subscales: dietary restraint; eating concerns; weight concerns; and shape concerns. The Global EDE-Q score (mean of the four attitudinal scores) and the scores of each subscales were used in this study. Higher scores indicate greater eating pathology. The scale was applied before and after the programme to assess outcomes.
Secondary Outcomes
- Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-8C).(5 months)
