Development and content validation of the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (Pedi-EAT)

In this paper, we describe the development and content validation of the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (PediEAT), a parent-report measure of problematic eating behaviors for children between the ages of 6 months and 7 years old who are eating solid foods. We present evidence of content validation with both healthcare professionals and parents. The PediEAT is written at a less than 5th grade reading level and can be used in clinical practice and research.
