Measuring psychological and behavioural factors in obesity
Obesity involves psychological and behavioural difficulties as well as differences in people's coping resources. These dimensions receive limited attention in digital programmes. Understanding them adds information about population needs beyond body weight.
Emycare develops EmyDiag, a 26-item questionnaire measuring six psychological and behavioural dimensions of obesity. It helps research teams characterise study participants and provides aggregate scores to help health organisations understand population needs.
What stands out about Emycare
Conducted successive respondent studies to refine the EmyDiag obesity questionnaire from 57 to 26 items.
