Commonly asked questions

If the patients can easily answer each item as soon as they read them, they can finish this in 5 to 10 minutes. Though, do remember the point that this could make them reflect on themselves, so don’t be surprised if they take longer to answer.

No. While this assessment is called the ARFID Test, it is not a diagnostic tool for ARFID. It’s a screening tool to check for ARFID symptoms in patients. It, however, can be used as part of the diagnostic process because the answers can be used alongside results of other assessments to help a professional confirm an ARFID diagnosis.

Of course, but take into account the age of the child. They might not understand the items and may not be old enough to look inward when it comes to their eating habits.
