The SCOFF Eating Disorder Screening, created by researchers at St George's Hospital Medical School in London, is a very brief tool that identifies those who may be struggling with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. Those whose SCOFF results indicate a possible eating disorder should see an eating disorder professional for further evaluation.

"SCOFF" is a memory device that refers to the key phrases indicating the potential for an eating disorder in each of the five questions: Sick (referring to vomiting), Control, One stone (English; American equivalent is fourteen pounds), Fat, and Food. Look for these key words as you complete the quiz.

1: Do you make yourself sick because you feel uncomfortably full?

Yes No

2: Do you worry you have lost control over how much you eat?

Yes No

3: Have you recently lost more than one stone (14 pounds) in a three-month period?

No Yes

4: Do you believe yourself to be fat when others say you are too thin?

Yes No

5: Would you say that food dominates your life?

Yes No

NOTE: Score one point for every "yes"; a score of two or more is a likely indication of anorexia nervosa or bulimia. Did you score MORE than 1 point? If so, please contact me at (808) 255-4810 for a complete ED Assessment by telephone!
