Abstract
The current study examined the psychometric characteristics of the College-Oriented Eating
Disorders Screen (COEDS), a college-student-focused screening measure to assess and identify
individuals at-risk for the development of eating disordered pathology. By screening a large pool of
pilot questions and using methods based in item response theory (IRT), seven items were identified
with well-targeted contents that discriminated well across the continuum of eating disorder severity.
The resulting measure evidenced a unidimensional factor structure and correlated highly with the
original COEDS, standard measures of eating disorders pathology, and a measure of associated
symptomatology (., depressive symptoms). Based on these results, we discuss the utility of the
COEDS as a prognostic indicator for risk of eating disordered pathology among college students.
