Scale introduction
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) is a free online test. HAD was compiled by Zigmond et al. and is mainly used for comprehensive screening of anxiety and depression. It includes two subscales, HA and HD, with a total of 14 items, of which 7 items assess anxiety and 7 items assess depression. Each item is divided into four levels of 0-3, and the higher the score, the more severe the anxiety or depression symptoms. Studies have found that HAD has good reliability and validity.
Scale description
The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms may be. Since the scale is only an auxiliary screening tool, the scale test results are for reference only.
| Subscale | Score | Reference results |
|---|---|---|
| Anxiety | 0~7 | No symptoms |
| 8~10 | Mild symptoms | |
| 11~14 | Moderate symptoms | |
| 15~21 | Severe symptoms | |
| Depression | 0~7 | No symptoms |
| 8~10 | Mild symptoms | |
| 11~14 | Moderate symptoms | |
| 15~21 | Severe symptoms | |
|
Note: Each subscale has a score range of 0~21.
Scores in the range of 0~7 indicate no symptoms. Scores in the range of 8~10 indicate mild symptoms. Scores in the range of 11-14 indicate moderate symptoms. Scores in the range of 14-21 indicate severe symptoms. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms. |
