Implementation of Instruments to Measure Mood and Binge Eating Disorder in Medical Undergraduate Programs Using Predictive Software

Mental health is considered one of the priorities in government programs carried out by public health operators. Particularly in those countries where there is a significant young population, these programs would have as their goal the control and permanent surveillance or other tangible actions that lead to the continued care of this population since this sector would play a crucial role in the productive development of a society. In this paper the importance in the construction of instruments that measure eventual anomalous situations in young university students from the angle of clinical psychology is emphasized. Essentially we focus on the emergence of disorders of eating behavior derived from various psycho-social factors and personality traits. In this way the present paper contributes by proposing a questionnaire as well as testing its validity and reliability using the modern techniques of statistics and computational simulation.
