Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale

  The SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale will be used to measure whether the participants have an eating disorder. The Turkish validity and reliability of this scale in university students was conducted by Aydemir et al. in 2015. There are five questions in the scale and the questions are answered as yes/no. One point is given for each question answered as yes, and scores of 2 and above are considered as eating disorders. This scale will be decisive in the inclusion of the participants in the research and control groups.
