Lal, Maala | Abraham, Suzanne
OBJECTIVE: The Quality of Life for Eating Disorders questionnaire was translated into Hindi (QOL ED-H) using the forward-backward translation procedure for use with Indian females. METHOD: A total of ninety-five females were recruited from two secondary schools and one tertiary college from Delhi, India. They were aged between 14 and 37years, ranging from low to high socioeconomic status communities. A psychologist and teacher produced a preliminary Hindi version, which was back-translated by the psychologist and a journalist and any disparity was checked. The Hindi and English versions were administered one week apart to the same participants, the order being randomised. RESULTS: Repeated measures analysis revealed no significant differences in QOL ED scores (global and subscores) between the Hindi and English versions, when controlled for age. CONCLUSION: The QOL ED-H can be used to assess eating and exercise disordered thinking, feeling, behaviours, psychological feelings and daily living in Indian females of all SES groups.
