Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It screens for symptoms of generalized anxiety and estimates severity based on frequency of symptoms in the past two weeks.

How are responses scored and interpreted?

Each item is rated from 0 to 3 and summed for a total score from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity and support the need for follow-up assessment.
