I can't find any papers talking about clinical cut off points for either the sub scales or the global score of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire - Can anyone help me??
With regards to the global score, the original Fairburn and Beglin recommendation was 4.0 I believe, but that has been shown to be extremely limiting.
Check out this paper! It does a good job highlighting some of the previous studies that have looked at this and also provides their ow recommendations.
Rø, Ø., Reas, D. L., & Stedal, K. (2015). Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE‐Q) in Norwegian Adults: Discrimination between Female Controls and Eating Disorder Patients. European Eating Disorders Review, 23(5), 408-412.
In reference to the cut off point of the EDE-Q and EDE, some authors suggest to consider the ≤5 for the EDE-Q and ≤4 for the EDE given that patients or other participants in light of embarrassment tend to underestimate themselves while being interviewed, on the other hand, they tend to overestimate themselves on the self-report, EDE-Q
As far as I know, the 2.3 threshold for the global score of the EDE-Q proposed by Mond, Hay, Rodgers, Owen, & Beumont (2004), is the only empirically based cut-off score with levels of sensitivity (0.83), specificity (0. 96), and positive predictive value (0.56).
