Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASA-27) Test

separationuneasiness

This questionnaire is a brief self-report measure designed to assess separation-related anxiety symptoms in adults. The Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASA-27) supports screening for clinically relevant distress and impairment associated with separation from attachment figures and familiar environments.

The instrument includes 27 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Item content samples common cognitive, emotional, and behavioral features of separation anxiety (e.g., worries about safety, avoidance, and distress during anticipated or actual separation). Scores may help guide clinical interviewing, case formulation, and decisions about whether additional assessment is warranted.

The Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASA-27) is attributed to Brian P. McCabe. Results should be interpreted in the context of the individual’s history and current functioning and are not, by themselves, sufficient for diagnosis.
