Kids' Eating Disorders Survey
(KEDS): Developed from the Eating Disorder Symptoms Inventory (ESI). KEDS
was developed to address the marked differences in cognitive development
between children and adolescents, it uses a simpler and shorter questionnaire,
answers are "yes", "no" and "don't know". There
are 14 items on the questionnaire, which include a set of 8 drawings of boys
and 8 drawings of girls, which range from very underweight to very overweight. The
child is asked to circle the drawing that looks most like them, in order to
assess weight and body dissatisfaction. The measure was designed to be used
within the general population as a screening devise. |
