title: Development of the eating Attitude Inventory for Diabetes Mellitus.
abstract: The authors examined the validity and reliability of the Eating Attitude Inventory for Diabetes Mellitus in a sample of 178 patients with diabetes mellitus. Reliability was supported by factor analysis, adequate internal consistency, and relatively high test-retest correlations. Validity was indicated by correlation with the Eating Attitudes Test designed for eating disorders. This inventory may be useful for assessing eating attitudes of patients with diabetes mellitus.
