Abstract | :
Sexual minority (SM) men are at a higher risk for eating disorders and related issues, relative to heterosexual men. However, it is currently unknown whether commonly used measures of eating pathology are appropriate to use among diverse groups of men. Determining the unique functioning of existing assessments may help better and more accurately understand eating disorder pathology within this population. The present study examined differences in item endorsement between sexual orientation in the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) through differential item functioning (DIF). |
