Anxiety symptoms are common during pregnancy and the first year postpartum and can affect functioning and maternal–infant well-being. The Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS-R) is a brief self-report measure designed to screen for the presence and severity of anxiety symptoms in the perinatal period.
It includes 31 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Items query anxiety-related experiences relevant to pregnancy and early parenting, supporting identification of symptom patterns that may warrant further clinical assessment.
The Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS-R) is intended for use in clinical and community settings as an initial screening tool and should be interpreted in the context of clinical history and current presentation. It is attributed to J. M. Holden, J. L. Cox, and R. Sagovsky.
