Are We Asking the Right Questions? A Review of Assessment of Males With Eating Disorders

Abstract

Most of the commonly used eating disorders (ED) assessments were normed and developed for females, and their status among male populations is rarely addressed in the literature. Recently, some male-specific instruments have been developed that may have some utility with this population. This article aims to: (a) briefly outline some special considerations and challenges when assessing ED in male populations; (b) review the utility of some of the most commonly used ED assessments with males; and (c) review some of the measures that have recently been developed to assess male-specific ED-related symptoms, with the hope that a greater understanding of male-specific presentation may be elucidated.
