Research Snapshot: The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, a five-item mental health screener

Registered Member

The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) is a brief mental health screener that can be used by health professionals and researchers, to reliably identify dysfunctional anxiety associated with COVID-19 and symptom severity.

What is this research about?

Many new public health measures have been implemented to contain the spread of COVID-19 and the increasing death toll from the pandemic. These measures are disrupting and rapidly changing behaviour and daily life across the globe.

Research on psychological well-being from previous infectious disease outbreaks shows clear links between pandemic-related anxiety and elevated symptoms of fear, stress, contamination concerns, health anxiety, post-traumatic stress and suicidality. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a brief mental health screener to respond to mental health needs resulting from COVID-19.
