The Work and Social Adjustment Scale is a type of ASSESSMENT TOOL.

The Work and Social Adjustment Scale (W&SAS) is a simple 5-item self report measure which provides an experiential impact of a disorder from the PATIENT's point of view.  It looks at how the disorder impairs the PATIENT's ability to function day to day with depression and / or anxiety as well as phobic disorders.

If a PATIENT has selected "non applicable" for question 1 or if one value is missing, then these scores can be substituted with the average score of the non-missing items. Questionnaires with more than one missing value should be disregarded.
