Visit the EAT-26 website (www.eat-26.com) to learn more about the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and how it has been used to assess eating concerns. The EAT-26 is a refinement of the original EAT-40 that was first published in 1979 and used in one of the first studies to examine socio-cultural factors in the development and maintenance of eating disorders. Since that time, the test has been translated into many different languages and used in hundreds of studies. The original publication (Garner, D.M. & Garfinkel, P.E., 1979, Psychological Medicine, 9, 273-279.) and the subsequent publication describing the refinement of the test (Garner et al., 1982, Psychological Medicine, 12, 871-878) are the 3rd and 4th on the list of the 10 most cited articles in the history of the journal Psychological Medicine. This journal was founded more than 40 years ago. Thus, the Eating Attitudes Test has had a huge impact in the field of eating disorders and you can take the test today or download a copy for free at the EAT-26 website (www.eat-26.com).
