Σύνοψη	The EAT-26 is a 26-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess core attitudes and behaviors characteristic of eating disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Developed by Garner and Garfinkel in 1979 and abbreviated to 26 items in 1982, it is widely used for screening eating disorders in community and clinical settings, and for monitoring treatment response. The EAT-26 measures restrictive eating attitudes, food preoccupation, and weight/shape concerns, with three subscales reflecting the multifaceted nature of eating disorder psychopathology.	The BPRS is an 18-item clinician-administered scale for rapid assessment of psychiatric symptom severity in psychotic and other major psychiatric disorders. Developed by Overall and Gorham in 1962, it remains widely used in clinical settings and research trials due to its brevity (administration 15–20 minutes), broad symptom coverage (psychotic, mood, and behavioral symptoms), and robust psychometric properties. The BPRS is particularly valued in acute psychiatry, inpatient units, and longitudinal monitoring where quick, repeated assessments are needed.
