Trial Outcomes & Findings for Development and Validation of a Brief Food Noise Questionnaire (NCT NCT06315907)

NCT ID: NCT06315907

Last Updated: 2025-11-24

Results Overview

Food Noise Questionnaire (FNQ) measures persistent, intrusive thoughts about food that are disruptive to daily life and make healthy behaviors difficult. The FNQ consists of five items rated on a 5-point Likert scale: strongly disagree (scored as 0); disagree (scored as 1); neither agree nor disagree (scored as 2); agree (scored as 3); and strongly agree (scored as 4). A single total score for the questionnaire is calculated by summing responses for the five items. The total FNQ score ranges from 0 to 20, with higher total scores indicating greater levels of food noise.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: The Food Noise Questionnaire (FNQ) was completed once as part of a larger online survey. The entire online survey was completed in approximately 30 to 45 minutes, and the FNQ items were completed in approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

Population: A total of 400 participants completed the online survey and demographic questions. Of these, 396 participants completed all Food Noise Questionnaire (FNQ) items and were included in the analysis of the outcome measure.

Food Noise Questionnaire (FNQ) measures persistent, intrusive thoughts about food that are disruptive to daily life and make healthy behaviors difficult. The FNQ consists of five items rated on a 5-point Likert scale: strongly disagree (scored as 0); disagree (scored as 1); neither agree nor disagree (scored as 2); agree (scored as 3); and strongly agree (scored as 4). A single total score for the questionnaire is calculated by summing responses for the five items. The total FNQ score ranges from 0 to 20, with higher total scores indicating greater levels of food noise.
