Pearson - Clinical and Talent Assessment - Australia and New Zealand

The Health Status Questionnaire 2.0 (HSQ 2.0) is an outcomes measurement tool that yields a profile of scores on eight health attributes, an index of health status change, and an indication of risk for the presence of a depressive disorder. This instrument is designed to be easily administered via self-report, personal interview, or telephone interview. Designed as a general outcomes measure to be used in all settings that provide primary or mental health care services, it captures aspects of both physical and emotional health.

Scales

Norm Groups

Norms are not provided for the HSQ 2.0. Instead, scores representing the average weighted score for each scale are computed using the HSQ 2.0 and SF-36 scoring weights. A set of reference data based on the responses of more than 4,000 individuals is presented in the HSQ 2.0 User’s Guide.

Report Options

Single Administration Report
The single administration report presents scale scores for each of eight scales according to the HSQ 2.0 and SF-36 scoring algorithms. It also presents the individual’s response to a health status change item and three screening items for dysthymia and depression.

Progress Report
This report is designed for monitoring a client’s progress over time. Provided at no additional charge, it graphically displays scale-by-scale changes in a client’s scores for up to five previously reported administrations of the instrument.
