Adherence
Existing patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures for obesity fail to capture key appetite and eating behavior concepts (e.g., duration of fullness, satisfaction after eating, eating between meals) that are relevant to individuals with obesity and likely to change with treatment.
If you are managing obesity, standard questionnaires might miss how you actually feel after eating (satisfaction, fullness duration). This gap means your provider might not fully understand your specific challenges with cravings or portion control. A comprehensive assessment tool (like the EBAQ) can better capture these nuances to tailor your treatment plan.
Existing patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures used in clinical practice or obesity research do not fully capture appetite and eating behavior concepts considered relevant by individuals with obesity (e.g., duration of fullness, satisfaction after eating, eating between meals, feeling hungry less often, having thoughts about food, eating small portions, eating less often).
Why this rating
Based on a targeted literature review of 23 PRO measures and exit interviews from a phase 2 trial, providing strong qualitative evidence of content gaps.
