Test for Eating Disorders with the EDI-3 and Help Determine Whether Patients Meet DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria
A revision of one of the most widely used self-report measures of constructs shown to be clinically relevant in individuals with eating disorders, the EDI-3 includes enhancements that make the instrument more consistent with the psychological domains identified by modern theories to be most relevant.
Need to quickly screen? The EDI-3 Referral Form is an abbreviated version of the EDI-3 that quickly screens individuals for eating disorder risk.
Features and benefits
- Provides data regarding frequency of symptoms (e.g., exercise patterns; use of laxatives, diet pills and diuretics; self-inducing vomiting) necessary to determine whether patients meet DSM-IV diagnostic criteria.
- Includes case studies.
- Includes clinical norms for adolescents in addition to U.S. and international adult clinical norms. It also provides multisite nonclinical comparison samples.
- Profiles can be linked to treatment plans, specific interventions, and treament monitoring.
- Translated into 16 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish.
- Administer and score online via PARiConnect.
Available in Spanish
The EDI-3 materials, including the manual, have been translated into European Spanish and designed especially for Spanish-speaking clinicians and their clients. Normative data were collected primarily in Spain, with additional data collected in some Latin American countries. Certain test items and stimuli in this translation vary from the English version because of cultural and linguistic differences between the countries and their language. Order the EDI-3 in Spanish.

Reliability, Validity, & Norms
- Includes normative data for both adolescents and adults: U.S. adult clinical (N = 983) and international adult clinical (N = 662) groups consist of adults ages 18 years and older.
- U.S. adolescent clinical (N = 335) group includes adolescents ages 11 to 17 years.
- Features excellent reliability and validity.
Test structure
- The easy-to-use Percentile/T-Score Profile Forms include critical item sets that allow for the development of a more meaningful clinical picture.
- An independent and structured self-report form, the EDI-3 SC is easy to complete and provides data regarding frequency of symptoms (i.e., binge eating; self-induced vomiting; exercise patterns; use of laxatives, diet pills, and diuretics) necessary for determining whether patients meet DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria.
- The EDI-3 Referral Form (RF) is an abbreviated form for allied health professionals.
- Administration and scoring are available 24/7 on PARiConnect, our online assessment platform.
- The EDI-3 consists of 91 items organized into 12 primary scales: Drive for Thinness, Bulimia, Body Dissatisfaction, Low Self-Esteem, Personal Alienation, Interpersonal Insecurity, Interpersonal Alienation, Interoceptive Deficits, Emotional Dysregulation, Perfectionism, Asceticism, and Maturity Fears.
- Yields six composites: one that is eating-disorder specific (i.e., Eating Disorder Risk) and five that are general integrative psychological constructs (i.e., Ineffectiveness, Interpersonal Problems, Affective Problems, Overcontrol, General Psychological Maladjustment).
- The item set from the original EDI, as well as items from the 1991 revision (EDI-2), has been carefully preserved so that clinicians and researchers can compare data collected previously with data from the EDI-3.
