The Fear of Food Questionnaire (FFQ) is an 18-item self-report questionnaire that measures fear, avoidance of food, as well as life interference and loss of pleasure from eating [36]. Items are rated on a Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 5 (absolutely). It has excellent internal consistency reliability with Cronbach α=.96 and strong 2-week test-retest reliability at r=0.93, P<.001 [36]. The FFQ also shows good criterion and known-groups validity [36]. Qualitative score ranges are 0-15 (minimal), 16-30 (mild), 31-45 (moderate), and 46-90 (severe).
