The V-EDS is an 18-item self-report screening tool designed to assess eating disorder symptoms specifically in individuals following a vegetarian or vegan diet.
What this tool is good for:
This tool presents questions targeted to the vegan/vegetarian population to better assess eating disorder symptomatology and potential confounding motivations for a restrictive vegan/vegetarian diet. It is non-diagnostic and may be used to indicate whether further assessment for eating disorder is required.
