The EPSI-CRV is a clinician-administered interview that assesses eating disorder behaviors and cognitions over the past three months. This tool generates both DSM-5 eating disorder diagnoses and scores across 8 subscales: (1) Body Dissatisfaction, (2) Binge Eating, (3) Cognitive Restraint, (4) Purging, (5) Excessive Exercise, (6) Restricting, (7) Muscle Building, and 8) Negative Attitudes Toward Obesity.

What this tool is good for:

This tool is useful for providing a comprehensive assessment of eating disorder symptoms and for making diagnostic decisions based on DSM-5 criteria.
