This brief screening measure is designed to identify individuals who may warrant further evaluation for disordered eating. The SCOFF Questionnaire (SCOFF) uses a small set of targeted self-report questions to screen for symptoms commonly associated with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. It was developed by Morgan, J.
The instrument contains 5 items and typically takes about 1 minutes to complete. It is intended for use in settings where rapid case-finding is needed (e.g., primary care, school health, or initial clinical intake). The SCOFF Questionnaire (SCOFF) does not establish a diagnosis; positive findings should be followed by a more comprehensive clinical assessment.
