    The document summarizes a validation study of the Eating Behavior Questionnaire (ECA) for screening eating disorders among adolescents in Colombia. The study evaluated 243 randomly selected students using the ECA and CIDI diagnostic interviews. It found the ECA had a sensitivity of 91.8%, specificity of 52.4%, and area under the ROC curve of 0.841 for detecting eating disorders. Factor analysis revealed three domains explaining 72.6% of the variance, and the domains had good internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.636. The study concludes the ECA is an acceptable screening tool for eating disorders in adolescent groups.

    Objective: To determine internal consistencyand criterion validity of the Eating BehaviorQuestionnaire (ECA) among adolescents, forthe screening of eating disorders (ED).Design: Study of validation with naturalisticsampling. 243 students were selected atrandom from 1595 eligible from three schoolsof Bucaramanga, Colombia, and were eva-luated with ECA and CIDI independently andblindly. Main measurements: Demographiccharacteristic, factors analysis, Cronbachsalpha, sensitivity analysis, specificity andforecast values, Cohen mean kappa test, andROC curve. Results: The prevalence of theED in the studied population is 30.0%. For24 or more points, sensitivity found was91.8%, specificity 52.4% , the Cohen meankappa was 0.341, the area under the ROCcurve was 0.841. Three domains were foundthat explain the 72.6% of the variance, theCronbachs alpha for the eleven questions ofthe three domains was 0.636. Conclusions:The ECA is an acceptable alternative forscreening groups of adolescents
