Is it appropriate to report the mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation for binary measurements? I am reading an article where the authors reported the mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, minimum and maximum values for binary measurements/variables. In the summary table the authors also give a summary for other continuous variables. I am wondering whether this is appropriate and if not, what is the appropriate way to report the data structure/summary statistics for binary measurements.

Like Stephan Kolassa says, I would go with a simple table of entries and the percentages.
The mean can be useful in getting a sense of proportion. I argue standard deviation (and thus coefficient of variation) is not useful because it's not as easy to interpret versus simply listing the counts and giving percentages.  For data distributed approximately with a Normal distribution, it is easy to visualize what a given SD value looks like, but not so much for binary variables. Standard deviation measures the spread of variables from the mean, but for binary variables the data are fixed to 0/1, and thus how the distance to the mean factors into the SD calculation is not intuitive.
