Self-report Screening Measures

Broad first-stage measures may be more practical than multiple condition-specific tools in busy, low-resource settings. The study validated six self-report tools selected through evidence review and expert discussion. PASS was administered only to perinatal participants because it was designed for perinatal anxiety symptoms. Most tools were administered to both perinatal and non-perinatal groups. SASS, K10, and PASS may be useful first-stage screens but require larger studies before thresholds or a single routine tool can be recommended.
