The Specific Phobia Questionnaire is a type of ASSESSMENT TOOL.
This is the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Specific Phobia Questionnaire. It is calculated by the PATIENT choosing a number to indicate how much they would avoid a situation because of a fear of particular objects or activities (such as animals, heights, seeing blood, being in confined spaces etc).
The numbers are in a range of 0 to 8 and are chosen as:
| 0 | Would not avoid it |
| 2 | Slightly avoid it |
| 4 | Definitely avoid it |
| 6 | Markedly avoid it |
| 8 | Always Avoid it |
A score of less than 4 indicates no specific problems and a score of greater than 4 suggests further exploration by the therapist to determine the extent to which this fear interferes with the PATIENT's daily activities.
