Eating Beliefs Questionnaire 18

Authors

Amy L. Burton, Maree J. Abbott (2018)

The Eating Beliefs Questionnaire 18 (EBQ-18) is an adapted version of the original EBQ, with further items being added to assess permissive beliefs. This tool is designed to assess cognitive factors that contribute to binge eating behaviors.

What this tool is good for:

This tool is useful for clinicians and researchers as it provides a brief yet comprehensive measure of the cognitive factors that contribute to the maintenance of binge eating behaviors.
