Consistent with previous studies of major depression, improved reliability of bulimia nervosa reporting is associated with more severe bulimic symptomatology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Frequent binge eating and the presence of salient behavioural markers such as vomiting and laxative misuse are associated with more reliable reporting of bulimia nervosa. In the absence of the use of fuller forms of assessment, brief interviews should utilise more than one prompt question, thus increasing the probability that memory of past disorders will be more successfully activated and accessed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.177.1.72","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,8,29]],"date-time":"2002-08-29T21:36:18Z","timestamp":1030656978000},"page":"72-76","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Reliability of lifetime history of bulimia nervosa"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"177","author":[{"given":"Tracey D.","family":"Wade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cynthia M.","family":"Bulik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth S.","family":"Kendler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"170","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007125000155059_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00048679709065511"},{"key":"S0007125000155059_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1992.01820080032005"},{"key":"S0007125000155059_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-7967(88)90116-7"},{"key":"S0007125000155059_ref18","volume-title":"SAS\/STAT=AE Software: Changes and Enhancements.
