Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire - Change in Restrained Eating Subscale Score
The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire is a 33-item self-report measure designed to assess the type of eating behavior and is organized into 3 subscales (emotional eating, externally-induced eating, and restrained eating). Subjects rated the frequency of their eating behaviors using a 5-point scale, where 1=never, 2=seldom, 3=sometimes, 4=often, and 5=very often. The Restrained Eating subscale consisted of 10 items and the scores ranged from 10 (worse outcome) to 50 (better outcome).
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks
Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire - Change in Emotional Eating A Subscale Score
The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire is a 33-item self-report measure designed to assess the type of eating behavior and is organized into 3 subscales (emotional eating, externally-induced eating, and restrained eating). Subjects rated the frequency of their eating behaviors using a 5-point scale, where 1=never, 2=seldom, 3=sometimes, 4=often, and 5=very often. The Emotional Eating A subscale (clearly labeled emotions) consisted of 9 items and the scores ranged from 9 (better outcome) to 45 (worse outcome).
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks
Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire - Change in Emotional Eating B Subscale Score
The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire is a 33-item self-report measure designed to assess the type of eating behavior and is organized into 3 subscales (emotional eating, externally-induced eating, and restrained eating). Subjects rated the frequency of their eating behaviors using a 5-point scale, where 1=never, 2=seldom, 3=sometimes, 4=often, and 5=very often. The Emotional Eating B subscale (diffuse emotions) consisted of 4 items and the scores ranged from 4 (better outcome) to 20 (worse outcome).
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks
Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire - Change in External Eating Subscale Score
The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire is a 33-item self-report measure designed to assess the type of eating behavior and is organized into 3 subscales (emotional eating, externally-induced eating, and restrained eating). Subjects rated the frequency of their eating behaviors using a 5-point scale where 1=never, 2=seldom, 3=sometimes, 4=often, and 5=very often. The External Eating subscale consisted of 10 items and the scores ranged from 10 (better outcome) to 50 (worse outcome).
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks
Change in Question 19 From 21-Item COE (Control of Eating) Questionnaire
Question 19: Generally, how difficult has it been to control your eating? Scoring: 0=not at all difficult; 100=extremely difficult
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks
