      abstract = {<p>Background: Assessment of eating disorders (ED) in  youth relies heavily on self-report, yet persistent lack of  recognition of the presence and/or seriousness of symptoms  can be intrinsic to ED. This study examines the  psychometric properties of a semi-structured interview, the  parent version of the Eating Disorder Examination (PEDE),  developed to systematically assess caregiver report of  symptoms.</p> <p>Methods: A multi-site, clinical sample of  youth (N = 522; age range: 12 to 18 years) seeking  treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN) and subsyndromal AN  were assessed using the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE)  for youth and the PEDE for collateral caregiver report.</p>  <p>Results: Internal consistencies of the four PEDE  subscales were on par with established ranges for the EDE.  Significant medium-sized correlations and poor to moderate  levels of agreement were found between the corresponding  subscales on each measure. For the PEDE, confirmatory  factor analysis of the EDE four-factor model provided a  poor fit; an exploratory factor analysis indicated that a  3-factor model better fits the PEDE.</p> <p>Conclusions:  Findings suggest that the PEDE has psychometric properties  on par with the original EDE. The addition of the caregiver  perspective may provide incremental information that can  aid in the assessment of AN in youth. Future research is  warranted to establish psychometric properties of the PEDE  in broader transdiagnostic ED samples.</p>},
