Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnoses: Reliability and Validity of Operationalizing DSM-IV Criteria into a Self-Report Format.

Mintz, Laurie B.; And Others

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v44 n1 p63-79 Jan 1997

Used three studies to examine a diagnostic questionnaire's psychometric properties. Results strongly supported the psychometric properties of the tool. Convergent validity and criterion validity were both supported by meaningful correspondences, and incremental validity was also supported in that the tool yielded more accurate diagnoses when compared to an established inventory.
