Dear all,
This might sound like restrictive practice but I am concerned that
'diagnostic' psychometric scales are being used in an unregulated
manner. Without the necessary training and contextual understanding,
and - in particular - use without understanding the validities and
reliabilities, these scales can easily be misunderstood, misapplied, and
poorly interpreted. Consequent reports and advice might lead to all
sorts of trouble.

Hi Julia
It is subject to copyright and you are meant to buy packs of new forms.
However, as indicated by the practice of your colleagues and many others
that I know of, it is used quite widely in its unregulated format. As
far as I'm aware the PHQ9 is freely available although you should
register your usage and it is only for depression. Go to patient.co.uk
for more info.
Thanks
Lindsey

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] HADS questionnaire
Hi List
I have just been informed that I cannot use the HADS questionnaire due
to copyright issues. As far as I'm aware all my colleagues past and
present have done so. Is this something new?
