SCOFF questionnaire
The
SCOFF questionnaire utilizes an
acronym in a simple five question test devised for use by non-professionals to assess the possible presence of an
eating disorder. It was devised by Morgan
et al. in 1999. The original SCOFF questionnaire was devised for use in the
United Kingdom, thus the original acronym needs to be adjusted for users in the
United States and
Canada. The "
S" in SCOFF stands for "
Sick" which in
British English means specifically to vomit. In
American English and
Canadian English it is
synonymous with "ill". The "
O" is used in the acronym to denote "one stone". A "stone" is an
Imperial unit of weight which is equivalent to 6.35
kg.
metric weight and 14 lbs. The letters in the full acronym are taken from key words in the questions:
