REIVAN-ORTIZ, Geovanny Genaro et al. Ecuadorian adaptation and validation of the Scale of Risk Factors Associated with Eating Disorders (EFRATA). Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.2, pp.232-238.  Epub July 29, 2022. ISSN 1695-2294.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.475061.

The objective of this study was to adapt and know the factorial structure and reliability in the Ecuadorian population of the EFRATA Scale of Risk Factors Associated with Eating Disorders. A non-probabilistic sample of 1172 participants were used (age: M = 21.99; SD = 2.49; 58.6% women and 41.4% men). The first parallel analysis study identified seven interpretable factors that explain 50% of the variance. The second confirmatory factor analysis study indicates an acceptable fit (GFI = 0.96; AGFI = 0.95; NFI = 0.94; RMR = 0.08). The reliability coefficients for Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega were 0.89 and 0.90 respectively. The Ecuadorian version of the EFRATA shows good psychometric properties and adapts to the cultural context of this country.
