Illness Social Significance Self-Assessment Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure assesses the perceived social impact of illness on an individual’s role functioning and social standing. The Illness Social Significance Self-Assessment Questionnaire is designed to capture how a health condition may influence everyday social interactions and participation.
The instrument includes 10 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate the extent to which illness affects domains such as work, relationships, and perceived reactions from others, yielding a brief quantitative index that can be used for clinical screening or research. The Illness Social Significance Self-Assessment Questionnaire is attributed to Howard Leventhal.
