K-6 Distress Scale – Self Administered

Here in this post, we are sharing the “K-6 Distress Scale”. You can read psychometric and Author information.  We have thousands of Scales and questionnaires in our collection (See Scales and Questionnaires). You can demand us any scale and questionnaires related to psychology through our community, and we will provide you with a short time. Keep visiting Psychology Roots.

About K-6 Distress Scale

Author of Tool:

Kessler, R. C., Barker, P. R, Colpe, L. J., Epstein, J. F., Gfroerer, J. C., Hiripi, E., Howes, M.J., Normand, S.L., Manderscheid, R. W., Walters, E. E., Zaslavsky, A. M. (2003).

Primary use / Purpose: 

The K-6 is a 6-item inventory rated on a 5 point Likert-type scale. It’s a truncated version of the K-10 and its purpose is also to function as a global measure of distress drawing from depressive and anxiety-related symptomology. It measures distress over a period of four weeks prior to the administration of the test. The K-6 contains several additional questions; however, these are supplementary and are not required for scoring the K-6.

Background:

The K-10 was originally developed in the United States for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) who wished to obtain an accurate estimation of the prevalence of serious mental illness (SIM).

Psychometrics:

The psychometric properties of the K-10 are discussed in Kessler, Barker, Colpe, et al., (2003) as well as in several newer studies which can be found in the weblink below.
