Eating Attitudes Test

The EAT-26 is used by healthcare professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists, and dietitians, to screen for potential eating disorders. It's also used by researchers studying eating attitudes and behaviors.

The EAT-26 can be used as a self-report measure by individuals concerned about their eating behaviors or by healthcare professionals as part of a comprehensive assessment process for eating disorders.

The EAT-26 is a self-report measure where respondents rate 26 items on a scale from "never" to "always". These responses are scored, and higher scores suggest a greater risk of disordered eating behaviors, indicating a need for further assessment.
