Psychometric properties of the German version of the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey–Revised: additional benefit of disease‐specific screening in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes

Abstract

The Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised delivered more specific information than generic screening instruments and identified more young people with eating disorders than did clinician report, especially regarding the detection of boys at risk. The results of this study support the utility of the German version of the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised to identify eating disorders in young people with Type 1 diabetes at an early stage.
