GAD-2
Two-item anxiety screening tool.
Intended population: Adult primary-care screening over the last two weeks.
- Screening scores support an interview; they do not establish a diagnosis or determine treatment.
- Assess safety directly when there is any concern; a negative screen does not exclude suicide risk.
