Yale Food Addiction Scale - operational shell

Clinician-reviewed addictive-like eating feature capture.

How Lirena uses YFAS

Lirena presents YFAS as a structured assessment workflow with assignment, completion, deterministic scoring support, and clinician-reviewed output. The public page describes metadata and operational use only; it does not reproduce protected item wording beyond approved source material.

  • 25 item workflow
  • Patient response pathway
  • Score range 0-25

Clinical boundary

Lirena does not diagnose food addiction; clinicians must interpret item patterns and impairment context.

Assessment scores support clinical review, formulation, documentation, and follow-up. They do not diagnose a condition by themselves.

Governance notes

Clinics should verify official wording, licences, scoring manuals, local policy, and clinician competency before using an instrument in production.

YFAS scales are publicly accessible from the developer group, but official item wording is not reproduced here.
