Eating Attitudes Self-Assessment
Focuses on attitudes and behaviours around eating, helping identify patterns that may suggest risk of an eating disorder.
What this assessment explores
Our relationship with food and eating is shaped by so many things – and it isn't always easy to know when attitudes or behaviours around eating have moved into territory that's worth paying attention to. This assessment helps you understand your current relationship with food: the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that might be getting in the way of a healthy and peaceful relationship with eating. It's built on the EAT-26, a widely used screening measure for eating disorder risk.
See the original scaleWhat you can expect
There are 26 questions – plus five additional questions about specific behaviours – and they'll ask you to reflect on your attitudes and feelings around eating and food.
The questions touch on things like:
- Dieting – preoccupation with weight, restriction, and food avoidance
- Food preoccupation – intrusive thoughts about eating or feeling out of control around food
- Oral control – feelings of self-control or pressure from others around eating
Your responses give you a clearer picture of whether your relationship with food and eating might benefit from further support.
