Child Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT)

Child Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT) (Maloney, McGuire, & Daniels, 1988). The ChEAT is a 26-item self-report measure assessing disordered eating in youths ages 8-13. We can use the ChEAT as a screening tool (Garner, 2010). We developed it from the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26; Garner, Olmsted, Bohr, & Garfinkel, 1982) for adults. The ChEAT comprises three subscales: dieting, restricting, and food preoccupation. Sample items include, “I think a lot about having fat on my body,” and “I like my stomach to be empty.” Each item is rated using a 4-point Likert scale as either zero (“Sometimes,” “Rarely,” and “Never”), one (“Often”), two (“Very Often”), or three (“Always”). We can administer it in five minutes. It shows acceptable to good internal consistency (α = .76-.87; Verhulst & van der Ende, 2006). In addition, the ChEAT demonstrates concurrent. The validity with independent measures of weight management and body dissatisfaction (Smolak & Levine, 1994). This measure is a...

Disruptive Behavior Disorders

Disruptive Behavior Disorders Child and Adolescent Disruptive Behavior Inventory-Parent & Teacher Version (CADBI) (Burns, Taylor, & Rusby, 2001a; 2001b) . The CADBI is a 25-item parent- or teacher-report measure assessing disruptive behaviors in youths (age range not specified). Although no appropriate age range the authors have set guidelines, the CADBI has been used in validation studies with youth ages 3 to 18 (e.g., Burns, Boe, Walsh, Sommers-Flanagan, & Teegarden, 2001). The CADBI can be used as a screening and diagnostic tool (Taylor, Burns, Rusby, & Foster, 2006). The CADBI consists of two subscales assessing oppositional behavior towards peers and adults, and hyperactivity/impulsivity (Burns et al., 2001a; 2001b). Sample items include: “Annoys peers on purpose,” “Loses temper or gets angry with adults when doesn’t get own way” and “Sasses adults.” Each item is rated on an 8-point Likert scale from one (“Never in the past month”) to eight (“10 or more times per d...

Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26)

Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) (Garner et al., 1982). The EAT-26 is a 26-item self- and clinician-report measure for youths ages 16-18 to assess for behaviors correlated with eating disorders. The EAT-26 can be used as a screening tool (Garner, 2010). The EAT-26 consists of three subscales: Dieting, Bulimia and Food Occupation, and Oral Control. Sample items include, “I feel that others would prefer if I ate more,” “I like my stomach to be empty,” and “I am occupied with a desire to be thinner.” The measure is rated using a 4-point Likert scale from zero (“Sometimes,” “Rarely,” and “Never”), one (“Often”), two (“Very often”), to three (“Always”). In addition to the original subscales, behavioral questions have been added to assess self-reported binge eating, self-induced vomiting, use of laxatives, extreme exercise, and past treatment of an eating disorder (Garner, 2010). The EAT-26 can be administered in ten minutes. Clinically disordered eating is indicated with a cut-off score of...
