WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Health Attitude Index Test

Health Attitude Index Test

This measure evaluates an individual’s attitudes and engagement related to personal health. The Health Attitude Index is intended to provide a brief self-report snapshot of how a person relates to health in multiple domains of experience and behavior.

The instrument includes 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. It is commonly described as assessing emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components of health-related attitudes, supporting a focused discussion of health perceptions and day-to-day health practices. Howard Leventhal is cited as the author.

The Health Attitude Index may be used in clinical or counseling contexts as a screening or adjunct measure to help structure case formulation, guide psychoeducation, and monitor changes in health-related attitudes over time when interpreted alongside other clinical information.
