A fuller conversation than weight alone.
Eating experiences and quality of life deserve space in the consultation. Compare measures with distinct purposes, then plan a questionnaire process your team can explain clearly to each person.
At a glance
Three perspectives on the person's experience.
- Eating behaviour
Patterns to explore in conversation
- Eating experiences
Relevant behavioural and emotional context
- Quality of life
The impact the person reports
Sensitive information needs a clear purpose.
Every additional form asks for time and personal information. Your clinic needs to explain why each measure is included, know which responses have returned and leave room for the clinician to explore them in conversation.
- Eating behaviour
- Quality of life
- Wellbeing context
A clear purpose for every step.
Start with the information your clinicians need. Use these steps to plan the questionnaire work around the consultation.
- 01
Choose the perspective you need
Distinguish eating behaviour, binge-eating experiences and weight-related quality of life. Check that the form and population fit your clinician's question.
- 02
Plan a purposeful collection process
Set out the requested forms, completion checks and review steps. Use the example and catalogue notes to discuss the information your team needs.
- 03
Leave conclusions with the clinician
Patient-reported information contributes to the conversation. Medication eligibility, prescribing and treatment decisions remain clinical responsibilities.
What each measure brings to the review.
Compare eating behaviour, binge-eating experiences and weight-related quality of life. The exact forms and intended populations matter when choosing measures for your clinic's question.
The Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire explores dimensions of eating behaviour. Check the exact version rather than treating every TFEQ form as equivalent.
Catalogue reference for comparing purposes. Confirm which TFEQ length your clinic has standardised on.
Read TFEQ catalogue details →The Binge Eating Scale concerns behavioural and emotional aspects of binge eating. A questionnaire does not establish an eating-disorder diagnosis.
Catalogue reference information. Confirm the form length and recall period your clinic has standardised on.
Read BES catalogue details →Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite
The Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite concerns weight-related quality of life in adults, adding a different perspective from eating behaviour.
It concerns weight-related quality of life in adults, which is a different question from eating behaviour.
Read IWQOL-Lite catalogue details →A practical starting point for your service.
Explain why each measure belongs
The catalogue notes make the purpose of each featured measure explicit, helping your team compare options for a considered intake pack.
Start with the person completing the forms
Bring your collection process and review requirements to a call. Discuss how each requested questionnaire contributes to the consultation.
Your team's questions, answered.
Assessment purposes, clinical responsibilities and the next step for your service.
What information do TFEQ, BES and IWQOL-Lite add?
They concern different questions: dimensions of eating behaviour, behavioural and emotional eating experiences, and weight-related quality of life. Pick the one that answers your clinical question rather than sending all three.
Will BES diagnose an eating disorder?
No. It concerns reported eating experiences and requires appropriate professional interpretation. Lirena does not provide automated eating-disorder diagnosis or replace a clinician's assessment.
Does this support medication eligibility or prescribing?
No. Medication eligibility and prescribing remain clinical decisions. This page covers questionnaire preparation and the patient-reported information it can bring to a review.
How should we choose between eating behaviour and quality-of-life measures?
Begin with the information your clinician needs for the consultation. These measures concern different experiences, so check the intended population and use the smallest suitable set your clinic can justify.
How do we choose a plan for our clinic?
Compare the current plans on the pricing page. Bring your expected assessment volume, required measures and review process to a call if you need help choosing.
What happens after Get Started or Book Call?
Get Started takes you to account setup. The Free plan requires no card. Book Call lets you choose a time to discuss your clinic's workflow. Please bring measure names and process questions, without patient records or responses.
Make every requested measure earn its place.
Bring your eating-behaviour and quality-of-life measures to a conversation about purposeful collection and clinician review.
