Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Weight Efficacy Lifestyle (WEL) Questionnaire
A 20-item questionnaire measuring eating self-efficacy across five domains: negative emotions, availability, social pressure, physical discomfort, and positive activities. Each item is rated on a 10-point scale (0 = Not confident, 9 = Very confident) for the participant's ability to resist overeating in various situations. Higher scores indicate greater confidence in managing eating behaviors (higher eating self-efficacy).
