screen for distress

How is Distress Screened?

Distress is typically screened using self-report measures, such as the Distress Thermometer and Problem List, or other validated tools like the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). These tools are designed to be quick and easy for patients to complete and for healthcare providers to interpret.
