Examining Dimensionality and Item-Quality of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire in Individuals With Eating Disorders Using Item Response Theory Analysis

Author(s): Dufour R; Steiger H; Booij L;

Objective: The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) is a widely-used measure of eating-disorder symptoms. However, inconsistent replication of the subscale structure raises concern about validity. To provide a rigorous test of the EDE-Q's dimensionality and item-quality, we applied modern and classical test theory approaches to data obtai ...

DNA methylation in people with Anorexia Nervosa: Epigenome-wide patterns in actively ill, long-term remitted, and healthy-eater women

Author(s): Steiger H; Booij L; Thaler L; St-Hilaire A; Israël M; Casey KF; Oliverio S; Crescenzi O; Lee V; Turecki G; Joober R; Szyf M; Breton É;

bjectives: Recent studies have reported altered methylation levels at disorder-relevant DNA sites in people who are ill with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) compared to findings in people with no eating disorder (ED) or in whom AN has remitted. The preceding implies state-related influences upon gene expre ...

Predictors of non-completion of a day treatment program for adults with eating disorders

Author(s): Thaler L; Booij L; Burnham N; Kenny S; Oliverio S; Israel M; Steiger H;

Although treatment dropout is common among patients with eating disorders, very few studies have examined predictors of non-completion in day treatment. We investigated various potential predictors of dropout from adult day treatment. Participants were 295 adult patients with a diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa (restricting or binge-eating/purging subtype), B ...

In-person versus virtual therapy in outpatient eating-disorder treatment: A COVID-19 inspired study

Author(s): Steiger H; Booij L; Crescenzi O; Oliverio S; Singer I; Thaler L; St-Hilaire A; Israel M;

Objective: Findings show virtual therapy (conducted using internet-based videoconferencing techniques) to be a viable alternative to in-person therapy for a variety of mental-health problems. COVID-19 social-distancing imperatives required us to substitute virtual interventions for in-person sessions routinely offered in our outpatient eating disorder (ED ...

Pretreatment motivation and therapy outcomes in eating disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Author(s): Sansfaçon J, Booij L, Gauvin L, Fletcher É, Islam F, Israël M, Steiger H

OBJECTIVE: Identifying modifiable predictors of outcomes following treatment for eating disorders may help to tailor interventions to patients' individual needs, improve treatment efficacy, and develop new interventions. The goal of this meta-analysis was to quantify the association between pretreatment motivation and posttreatment changes in eating d ...

Plasma levels of one-carbon metabolism nutrients in women with anorexia nervosa

Author(s): Burdo J; Booij L; Kahan E; Thaler L; Israël M; Agellon LB; Nitschmann E; Wykes L; Steiger H;

Objective: People who are ill with anorexia nervosa (AN) show altered availability of key plasma nutrients. However, little is known about the patterning of alterations that occurs across diverse nutrients during active phases of illness or about the persistence of any such alterations following ...
