A widely used standardized self-report measure of symptoms and concerns characteristic of eating disorders. The original 40-item version was developed for a study to examine socio-cultural factors in the development and maintenance of eating disorders. A 26-item refinement of the original test has been made and it has been translated into many different languages and used in hundreds of studies. The EAT-26 has been useful as a screening tool to assess eating disorder risk in high school, college and other special risk samples such as athletes. It can be used in a non-clinical as well as a clinical setting not specifically focused on eating disorders. It can be administered in group or individual settings and is designed to be administered by mental health professionals, school counselors, coaches, camp counselors, and others with interest in gathering information to determine if an individual should be referred to a specialist for evaluation for an eating disorder. It is intended primarily for adolescents and adults. The EAT-26 should be used as the first step in a two-stage screening process. According to this methodology, individuals who score 20 or more on the test should be interviewed by a qualified professional to determine if they meet the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder. The tests are rated on a six-point scale in response to how often the individual engages in specific behaviors. (adapted from Wikipedia)

A psychological self-rating scale developed by Dalhousie University professor of psychiatry Stan Kutcher, to assess the level of depression in adolescents. While there are some variations, the 11-item version of the KADS is the most commonly used and most thoroughly verified for efficacy in monitoring outcomes in adolescents who are receiving treatment for major depressive disorder. Its items are worded using standard and colloquial terminology, and responses are scored on a simple 4 choice scale. There are ten questions about depression symptom frequency that the patient rates on a straight 4 point scale according to the following choices: hardly ever, much of the time, most of the time, all the time, and one question relating to the severity of suicidal ideation. Scores on the test range from 0 to 33. Unlike some rating scales, there is no threshold for sub-clinical presentation, or ranges for mild, moderate, and severe symptoms. Higher scores simply indicate more severe current depression symptoms. (Adapted from Wikipedia)
