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.
