GHQ-12 (General
Health Questionnaire) is a thoroughly tried and tested self-paced
measurement tool, which has been used in the Health Survey
for England (1995) and indicates psychological morbidity.
Respondents
are grouped according to their score as follows:
Additionally,
users are grouped into either Non-stressed cases where they
score less than 3 or Stressed Cases where they score greater
than 3.
Hospital
Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale questionnaire is a sensitive
screening tool. Although designed for hospital general medical
Outpatients, it has been extensively used in General Health
Care. Questions seek either to determine depression or anxiety.
A score of 8 or more is significant, a score of 11 or more
highly significant. Hunter Kane represents the % of individuals
who score 10 or more.
