Interpretation & limitations
- Higher totals indicate more reported perinatal anxiety. The original screening boundary of 26 requires assessment in its population and cultural context.
- A score does not diagnose an anxiety disorder. Acute concerns, self-harm, psychosis or severe functional deterioration need direct assessment.
