Résumé
"Symptoms of eating disorders (ED) have increased among males recently. The SCOFF questionnairefor screening ED counts on a formal validation in Colombian only on girl students. However, psychometricproperties of this questionnaire in males are unknown. The purpose of this study was to determinethe internal consistency and factors of the SCOFF questionnaire and make a gender comparisonamong adolescent students from Bucaramanga, Colombia. A probabilistic sample of 2496 male and2375 female, aged 10-19 year-old, completed the SCOFF questionnaire and the CAGE questionnairethat identifies abusive alcohol consumption (divergent validation). The internal consistency of the SCOFFwas established with the Kuder-Richardson´s formula 20, and the divergence with the CAGE questionnairewith the Pearson´s correlation. Results showed among male an internal consistency 0.521, andamong female a consistency of 0.584. One factor explained 34.7% of the variance in males, and one especifactorwas responsible of 37.5% of variance in females. Finally, SCOFF scores and CAGE scorespresented a poor correlation both males and females. In conclusion the SCOFF questionnaire presentsan acceptable internal consistency, and a high divergence with the CAGE questionnaire among male andfemale adolescents. Further, the criterion validation of SCOFF questionnaire is needed for males."
