Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The present study determined the test-retest reliability of the adolescent version of the Questionnaire of Eating and Weight Patterns (QEWP-A) and examined gender differences in QEWP-A responses. METHOD: The QEWP-A was administered to 106 male and female adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18 in a classroom setting and readministered 3 weeks later under the same conditions. Adolescent responses were classified into no diagnosis (ND), nonclinical binge (NCB), and binge eating disorder (BED) diagnostic categories. RESULTS: BED diagnoses were rare, but nonclinical levels were observed. Significant levels of stability for males and females were observed over a 3-week time period (phi = 0.42). Male and female differences were examined. Female responses changed significantly at the second testing. DISCUSSION: The implications for these results regarding the utility for the QEWP-A are reviewed.
