Obesity Awareness Scale and Insight Scale (OASIS)
Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
Our researchers have developed a novel and easy-to-administer self-report measure of illness awareness in obesity, a condition attributed to individuals with metabolic syndrome. The measure assesses the core domains of illness awareness, including awareness of need for treatment.
