A score of 20 or above is Garner's referral criterion. His three subscales are documented but not scored, because the total is the referral criterion: dieting = items 1, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 26; bulimia and food preoccupation = 3, 4, 9, 18, 21, 25; oral control = 2, 5, 8, 13, 15, 19, 20. Garner's full screening protocol also refers a respondent on low age-referenced BMI or on any of five behavioural questions (bingeing, vomiting, laxative use, exercise, weight loss); those are not part of the 26-item score and are not implemented, so a score below 20 alone does not complete his referral logic.", }, };
