The Specific Phobia of Vomiting Inventory (SPOVI-14) (Veale et al‚ in press)
This is a 14-item self-report scale that focuses on the cognitive and behavioural processes that occur in a specific phobia of vomiting. The questions are answered in a Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time). The scale has a two-factor structure‚ with one factor ch‎aracterised by avoidance symptoms (7 items which are shaded on the questionnaire) and a second factor comprised of threat monitoring. The SPOVI can be used as an outcome measure and for case tracking during treatment. The total range is from 0 to 56.
