Classification and Diagnosis of Eating Disorders

描述(由申请人提供)：开发具有最大临床实用价值的有效饮食障碍诊断对科学家和临床医生很重要。DSM-V将在未来5-6年内开发，DSM-IV进食障碍诊断将被考虑进行可能的修订。本申请确定了一个八人指导委员会，该委员会将努力确定数据库和科学家，他们将与指导委员会一起，进行研究，为DSM-V中进食障碍诊断的发展提供信息。这一系列会议以及会议间隙委员会的工作将确定关键的诊断问题、现有数据的来源以及回答这些问题的科学方法，这些问题将以最佳方式向DSM-V饮食障碍工作组提供信息。将在每次会议后创建报告，这些报告将与DSM-V饮食障碍工作组共享，以帮助他们制定DSM-V饮食障碍诊断。这三个会议将在马里兰州华盛顿特区/贝塞斯达地区举行，以促进指导委员会、NIMH的科学家和可能对这些会议感兴趣的美国精神病学协会的个人之间的参与和沟通。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The development of valid eating disorder diagnoses with maximal clinical utility is important for scientists and clinicians. The DSM-V will be developed over the next 5-6 years and the DSM-IV eating disorder diagnoses will be considered for possible revision. The present application identifies an eight person Steering Committee who will work to identify databases and scientists who will meet, along with the steering committee, to conduct research that will inform the development of eating disorder diagnoses in the DSM-V. This series of conferences, along with committee work in the interim between conferences will identify key diagnostic questions, sources of existing data, and scientific approaches to answering the questions that will optimally inform the DSM-V Eating Disorder Workgroup. Reports will be created after each conference which will be shared with the DSM-V Eating Disorder Workgroup to assist them in the development of the DSM-V eating disorder diagnoses. The three conferences will be held in the Washington, D.C./Bethesda, MD area in order to facilitate involvement and communication between the Steering Committee, Scientists and individuals from NIMH and the American Psychiatric Association who may be interested in these conferences.
