This measure is designed to elicit a patient’s subjective understanding of illness and its perceived impact on functioning. The Questionnaire for Assessing the Subjective Concept of Morbidity provides a structured way to capture beliefs, concerns, and perceived consequences that may be clinically relevant.
The instrument includes 22 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. It is intended to support clinical formulation by clarifying the individual’s illness representation and related expectations, and it may inform treatment planning and patient-clinician communication. Development is attributed to Howard Leventhal and John B. Weinman.
Scores from the Questionnaire for Assessing the Subjective Concept of Morbidity should be interpreted in the context of the referral question, clinical interview findings, and other available assessment data.
