In clinical and counseling settings, the Health Behavior Disorders Questionnaire is used to screen for patterns of health-compromising and risk-related behaviors. It is a self-report measure intended to support initial case conceptualization and identify domains that may warrant further assessment.
The instrument includes 63 items and typically takes about 12 minutes to complete. Items are rated as statements and can be summarized to provide a profile of behavioral tendencies across relevant areas (e.g., substance-related urges, eating-related difficulties, safety nonadherence, self-control problems, emotion regulation difficulties, and self-destructive patterns).
Results from the Health Behavior Disorders Questionnaire are best interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data and other sources of information, rather than as a standalone diagnostic indicator. The measure is attributed to James O. Prochaska and Carlo C. DiClemente.
