Concordance between youth and caregiver report of eating disorder psychopathology: Development and psychometric properties of the Eating Disorder-15 for Parents/Caregivers (ED-15-P).

Outcome measurement in youth with eating disorders relies heavily on self-report, which is problematic in a population that may deny or minimize symptoms. Caregiver-report measures are lacking. This study examined the psychometric and clinical properties of a newly-developed measure designed to assess short-term change in eating disorder symptomatology as observed by caregivers-the Eating Disorder-15 for Parents/Caregivers (ED-15-P).
