Turkish adaptation and validation of the Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire - Short Parent Version (EDE-QS-P).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEating disorders are complex psychiatric conditions characterized by intense concerns related to body image and weight. Adolescents and school-aged children are considered at risk due to their developmental characteristics. However, difficulties in recognizing and expressing symptoms within this age group often complicate the diagnostic process. Parent-reported assessment tools play a crucial role in monitoring eating behaviours and supporting early intervention. Therefore, cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of eating disorders scales designed for children and adolescents are essential for enhancing the effectiveness of early diagnosis. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire – Short Parent Version (EDE-QS-P), which was developed to assess eating disorder symptoms in children and adolescents.
methodThis cross-sectional validity and reliability study was conducted with a total of 516 participants from two schools located in the Aegean region of Türkiye. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews. The original scale, consists of 11 items, is answered using a 4-point Likert scale, and yields a total score ranging from 0 to 33. Data analysis included confirmatory factor analysis, content validity index (CVI), Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, McDonald’s omega coefficient, test–retest method, and split-half reliability method.
resultsIn the study, the mean total score of the scale was determined as 3.73 ± 5.79. The CVI was found to be 0.99, and confirmatory factor analysis results indicated a good model fit (RMSEA = 0.075; χ²/df = 4.902; CFI = 0.97). In the reliability analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.882 and McDonald’s omega as 0.891. Test–retest results showed no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThe Turkish version of the scale was found to have valid and reliable internal consistency. The findings support that the Turkish version of the scale is an effective assessment tool for monitoring eating disorder symptoms in children and adolescents.
