SCOFF Eating Disorder Questionnaire

The SCOFF is a five-question screening tool for eating disorders, developed by Morgan, Reid, and Lacey at the University of Leeds in 1999. Its acronym—Sick, Control, One, Fat, Food—represents its five core items. The SCOFF is exceptionally brief, takes less than 2 minutes to administer, and was designed to identify cases of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in primary care and medical settings. It remains one of the fastest and most widely used screening instruments globally.
