Objective: Assessment of disordered eating has uncertain validity across culturally diverse populations This study evaluated Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) performance in an ethnic Fijian study populationMethod: The EDE-Q was translated, adapted, and administered to school-going Fijian adolescent females (N = 523) A subsample (n = 81) completed it again within similar to 1 week we assessed feasibility, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability, evaluation constrict validity through factor analysis and correlation with similar constructs, and examined the marginal Utility of an additional question on traditional purgative UseResults: Internal consistency reliability was adequate for the global scale and subscales (Cronbach's alpha = 0 66-0 91). retest reliability was adequate for both the languages (range of ICCs, 0 50-0 79, and of kappas, 0 46-0 81, excluding purging Items) Construct. validity was supported by significant correlations with measures of similar constructs Factor analysis confirms multiple dimensions of eating disorder symptoms but suggests possible culture-specific variation in this population The majority of respondents endorsing traditional purgative Use (58%) did riot endorse conventional EDE-Q items assessing purgingDiscussion: The EDE-Q is a valid measure of eating disorder pathology for ethnic Fijian adolescent females and measures a Unitary Underlying construct (C) 2009 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc
