Cross-cultural Adaptation and Validation of the French Version of the Athletic Disordered Eating Scale (ADE)
Sponsor: University Hospital, Caen
Summary
Assessing disordered eating is crucial in athlete health monitoring. However, existing tools are not tailored to athletes' specific needs. In 2024, Buckley et al. developed the Athletic Disordered Eating (ADE) scale, a 17-item tool validated through athlete interviews and expert review. ADE is the first screening tool for athletes using both classical psychometrics and item response theory. Recent studies confirm its effectiveness in diverse athlete populations. With approval from Prof. Regina Belski, we aim to validate a French version (ADE-Fr) through cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric analysis, including adolescent athletes (15+). We hypothesize that ADE-Fr will retain the original structure with strong validity and reliability.
