ABSTRACT
The aim of our study was to validate the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (EDDS-5) updated for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) with a diverse veteran population against a clinician-administered interview based on the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5). Our sample included 343 veterans, 18-75 years, recruited April 2019 to December 2022 who completed the EDDS-5 as well as other eating disorder and mental health measures. A subsample of these veterans received clinical interviews (n = 166), which were used to validate the EDDS-5. We found that despite multiple proposed modifications, the EDDS-5 performed poorly at correctly identifying diverse veterans who were diagnosed as having eating disorders through clinician-administered interviews. The sensitivity was very low, indicating that using the EDDS-5 did not identify many true positives and may also over diagnose those without true eating disorders. The EDDS-5 may not be the best for screening or diagnostic purposes among diverse samples like veterans.
