Weight Efficacy Lifestyle (WEL) Questionnaire
A 20-item questionnaire measuring eating self-efficacy across five domains: negative emotions, availability, social pressure, physical discomfort, and positive activities. Each item is rated on a 10-point scale (0 = Not confident, 9 = Very confident) for the participant's ability to resist overeating in various situations. Higher scores indicate greater confidence in managing eating behaviors (higher eating self-efficacy).
Godin-Shephard Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire
A 3-item self-report questionnaire asking the number of times per week one engages in strenuous, moderate, and mild leisure exercise. Participants enter frequency counts for each category, which are used to compute a weekly activity score. Higher scores indicate higher physical activity level.
Diet History Questionnaire III (DHQ III)
A \~130-item food frequency questionnaire collecting dietary intake information. Participants report how often they consume various foods and beverages and sometimes portion size. It measures habitual dietary intake and nutrient consumption patterns.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (0 = Not during the past month to 3 = ≥3 times/week). A total score is computed (0-21). Higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality.
Body Image Scale
