New study aims to catch eating disorders in pregnancy early
NCT ID NCT05885971
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether two questionnaires (SCOFF-F and EDE-Q) can accurately detect eating disorders in pregnant women, separating them from normal pregnancy-related eating concerns. Researchers will compare answers from 50 pregnant women with and without diagnosed eating disorders. The goal is to create a reliable screening tool for use during pregnancy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple screening tool to help doctors detect eating disorders during pregnancy earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all pregnant women. The questionnaires may not reliably distinguish eating disorders from normal pregnancy-related concerns.
