Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | The K10 Screening Scale for Psychological Distress last 4 weeks version (K10+) is a consumer-rated measure and should be offered to adult and older person consumers at review and discharge from inpatient, residential and ambulatory settings. The K10+ includes all of the questions included in the K10 as well as 4 subsequent questions which are conditional on the responses to the first 10 questions. None of the 4 additional questions need to be answered if "none of the time" (which scores as "1") was recorded for all of the initial ten questions. |
