Eating concerns can involve restriction, binge eating, purging, body-image distress, rigid rules, or feeling that food and weight take up too much mental space. This check-in is designed to notice patterns, not to label your body or diagnose an eating disorder.
This tool is designed for self-reflection and support navigation. It is not a diagnosis. Results should be interpreted in context, especially when symptoms are severe, persistent, or affecting daily life.
About the evidence: Project Semicolon custom eating-concerns check-in. It does not reproduce the SCOFF or another proprietary eating-disorder instrument.
Project Semicolon reviews assessment wording, scoring logic, safety routing, and source status separately from the directory experience. Custom check-ins are clearly distinguished from validated instruments.
We store the completed assessment type, result band, score when applicable, limited secondary signals, and basic engagement events for aggregate metrics. Raw question responses are not stored.
This assessment is a screening and support-navigation tool, not a diagnosis or substitute for professional medical care.
