BACKGROUND: Emetophobia (fear of @entity391 ) is an @entity148 in which individuals report clinical levels of fear that they may vomit or be exposed to the vomit of others. The prevalence of comorbidity of emetophobia with other conditions has previously only been investigated using self-report instruments. METHOD: Sixty-four adults with emetophobia participated in an online structured clinical diagnostic interview assessing the presence of emetophobia and other conditions. RESULTS: Higher comorbidity for @entity308 , generalized @entity148 , @entity4697 , @entity148 and @entity3119 were found in @entity1 compared with general population norms. CONCLUSIONS: Emetophobia is commonly comorbid with other @entity148 and @entity308 . Comorbidity rates, when assessed using a structured clinical interview, were lower than previously reported using self-report alone. Copyright    2015 John Wiley _ Sons, Ltd.
