The Eating Assessment Tool 10 (EAT-10) is an evidence-based, clinically validated tool that is used as a primary screening instrument for dysphagia in routine clinical practice. With just 10 questions to help measure the difficulty and severity of swallowing, the EAT-10 takes less than 2 minutes and can be completed either by patients themselves or by healthcare professionals.
