GAD-2 (Anxiety Screen)

Two-item anxiety screen.

Education and reference only. Not a substitute for clinical judgement, local policy or product labelling. Always verify before clinical use. Values are calculated in your browser and never stored.

When to use

Use as a first-step screen for generalised anxiety; a positive result (≥3) should prompt fuller assessment such as the GAD-7.

Why use

It is an ultra-brief, validated anxiety screen.
