Abstract
The Eating Pathology Clinical Outcome Tracker (EPCOT) is a 24-item multidimensional self-report tool that can be used to help clinicians track weekly progress in their clients over time in therapy. The EPCOT can also be used in research contexts in which briefer, week-to-week assessments are needed. The eight scales include: Body Dissatisfaction, Binge Eating, Cognitive Restraint, Excessive Exercise, Muscle Building, Negative Attitudes Toward Obesity, Purging, and Restricting. Scoring of the EPCOT involves summing (adding) items within scales. There is no total score for the EPCOT.
Description
The Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (EPSI) was developed by Dr. Kelsie Forbush and published in Psychological Assessment in 2013. Prior to publication, Dr. Forbush obtained a United States copyright to the measure and derivative versions (which includes [but is not limited to] translations, shortened versions, online administrations, and revisions that modify instructions). This means that Dr. Forbush, who has the authority to grant or deny any modifications to the original version of the EPSI, retains the copyright to the EPSI and any derivative or translated version of the EPSI, including but not limited to the Eating Pathology Clinical Outcomes Tracker (EPCOT), Brief Assessment of Stress and Eating (BASE), and EPSI-Clinician Rated Version (EPSI-CRV). Please note that changing the instructions or deviations from the paper-and-pencil format (e.g., administering the survey over the Internet or through a mobile-health app) are considered modifications. Unauthorized translations or modifications would, therefore, represent copyright infringement. To request permission to modify the EPSI, EPCOT, or another derivative measure, please contact Kelsie Forbush at kforbush@ku.edu .
