The IOI-S is a digital screening tool designed to assess broad eating disorder risk and symptomatology. It is validated for individuals aged 14 and over. It covers common eating disorder psychopathology, including an individual’s relationship with food, the extent to which body shape and weight determines self-worth, preoccupation with food or body weight, food-related anxiety, loss of control over eating, and compensatory behaviour.
What this tool is good for:
This tool can be used to identify high risk and early stage of eating disorder symptomatology. It should be used as an indicator on whether further diagnostic assessment for eating disorders is needed.
