饮食失调是年轻女性最常见的精神疾病之一。早期发现和治疗可以改善预后，但表现往往是神秘的，例如，通过身体症状在初级保健。诊断病情的能力各不相同，可能不充分，1现有的检测问卷2 3很长，可能需要专家解释。对于非专科医生来说，没有简单、容易记忆的筛查工具。在酒精滥用中，CAGE支架4因其简单性而受到临床医生的欢迎。在严格的临床评估之前，我们开发并测试了一种类似的用于饮食失调的工具，其中的问题旨在引起人们对饮食失调可能存在的怀疑。
Eating disorders are among the most common psychiatric disorders in young women. Early detection and treatment improves prognosis, but presentation is often cryptic—for example, via physical symptoms in primary care. Ability to diagnose the condition varies and can be inadequate, 1 and existing questionnaires for detection2 3 are lengthy and may require specialist interpretation. No simple, memorable screening instruments are available for non-specialists. In alcohol misuse the CAGE questionnaire4 has proved popular with clinicians because of its simplicity. We developed and tested a similar tool for eating disorders—with questions designed to raise suspicion that an eating disorder might exist—before rigorous clinical assessment.
