What Is the Eating Disorder Inventory?
The Eating Disorder Inventory is a self-report test given by doctors that helps determine if a patient has an eating disorder. The original version contains 64 questions that focus on eight different categories. It is not meant to diagnose any conditions, but it is used as a screening device. Since its development by David M. Garner in 1984, it has also been used to help doctors understand the psychology behind disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
