Frequently Asked Questions
What does this questionnaire measure?
It screens for grief-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be intense, persistent, and disruptive. It helps estimate whether grief symptoms may be complicated and may require further evaluation.
Who is this questionnaire intended for?
It is intended for adults who have experienced the death of a significant person. It is commonly used in clinical and research settings as a brief screening tool.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 4 minutes. It includes 19 items.
How should items be answered?
Each item should be rated based on how often or how strongly the experience has occurred during the recent period. Responses should reflect typical experiences rather than rare exceptions.
How are results used and what are the limits of the score?
Higher scores indicate more severe grief-related symptoms and may support referral for a fuller clinical assessment. A score alone does not establish a diagnosis or determine treatment.

Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to screen for grief-related symptoms that may be more persistent or impairing than expected following bereavement. The Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG) provides a structured self-report format to support early identification of individuals who may benefit from further clinical evaluation.
Developed by H. G. Prigerson, it consists of 19 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Responses are used to quantify symptom severity and to inform clinical decision-making, referral, or research protocols; the Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG) is not a substitute for a comprehensive diagnostic assessment.
