The Modified SCOFF Questionnaire is a screening tool designed to detect a possible eating disorder of any type. It explores your or your child’s attitudes and feelings about food and eating. **Two or more questions answered “YES” indicates increased index of suspicion for an underlying eating disorder and should prompt a further evaluation with your or your child’s clinician to confirm the diagnosis.**

- [ ] **S** - Do you make yourself **S**ick (by throwing up, using laxatives or water pills, or excessively exercising) because you feel uncomfortably full?
- [ ] **C** - Do you worry you have lost **C**ontrol over how much you eat?
- [ ] **O** - Have you recently lost or gained more than 10-15 pounds (**O**ne stone-worth) in a 3 month period?
- [ ] **F** - Do you believe yourself to be **F**at when others say you are too thin?
- [ ] **F** - Do thoughts and fears about **F**ood and weight dominate your life?
- [ ] Do you feel bad about yourself because of your weight, shape, or eating habits?
