This script implements a computer version of the paper-and-pencil version CIA as published by:

OVERVIEW
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From Appendix III:
"The Clinical Impairment Assessment questionnaire (CIA) is a 16-item self-report measure of 
the severity of psychological impairment due to eating disorder features (Bohn and Fairburn, 2008). 
It focuses on the past 28 days. The 16 items cover impairment in domains of life that are typically affected by
eating disorder psychopathology: mood and self-perception, cognitive functioning, interpersonal functioning and work performance.
The purpose of the CIA is to provide a simple single index of the severity of psychosocial impairmente secondary to 
eating disorder features."
