WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG) Test

grief

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.
