Description
Neli Escandón-Nagel and co-authors adapt a short binge-eating screening tool for Spanish speakers, in work from 2026. Binge eating disorder is common in adults with overweight or obesity, yet few validated screening tools exist in Spanish.
The seven-item screener was translated, back-translated, judged by experts, and pilot tested in Chile; two extra items drawn from diagnostic criteria were added during review. Of 1,497 adults recruited, 435 with recurrent binge episodes were kept. Statistical checks supported two factors, loss of control and emotional distress, with acceptable consistency and stability across sex, body mass, and activity groups. The tool looks fit for screening in this population.
