The Health Anxiety Inventory (Short Week version) is an 18-item measure of health anxiety. Items 1-14 assess health anxiety and items 15-18 assess perceived negative consequences of illness. Each item is rated 0-3, producing a total score of 0-54. Used as the IAPT ADSM for health anxiety.
Each question consists of four statements. Please read each group of statements carefully and then select the one which best describes your feelings over the past week.
Use as a validated screening tool for health anxiety at assessment and for outcome monitoring during treatment. The HAI Short Form provides a brief but psychometrically sound assessment of health anxiety severity.
Present as a standard questionnaire used to understand the extent of health-related worries. Normalise by explaining it is used routinely in specialist health anxiety services and research.
For clients with comorbid medical conditions, discuss their responses collaboratively to distinguish between items endorsed due to genuine health concerns versus anxiety-driven responses. This clinical discussion adds value beyond the numerical score.
The HAI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. Elevated scores should prompt further clinical assessment rather than being used as the sole basis for diagnosis. Be aware that clients with genuine medical conditions may score higher without necessarily having pathological health anxiety.
Track scores at regular intervals to demonstrate treatment progress. The HAI is sensitive to change and can detect clinically meaningful improvement. Individual item analysis can guide treatment focus by identifying which aspects of health anxiety are most prominent for each client.
Scores are calculated automatically when your client completes this measure (range 0–54).
Suitable for clients working with outcome-measure, health-anxiety, hai, validated, iapt-adsm. This tool can be used as a standalone worksheet or as part of a structured homework plan.
