Quick Reference
| Assessment | Items | Time | Purpose | Score Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| K6 | 6 | 1-2 min | Brief distress screening | 0-24 (0-4 coding) |
| K10 | 10 | 2-3 min | Distress monitoring | 0-40 (0-4 coding) |
Assessment Tools
- K6: assets/k6.md
- K10: assets/k10.md
Interactive Administration (Optional)
Use this mode when the clinician says "start" or "administer" the K6/K10.
- Confirm readiness and explain the past 30 days time frame plus the 5-point response scale.
- Ask one item at a time (verbatim from the asset file) and wait for a response before continuing.
- Accept numeric or verbal responses; if unclear or out of range, ask for clarification.
- Recode responses to 0-4 scoring and keep a running total.
- After the final item, calculate the total score, interpret severity, and provide next-step guidance.
- Offer a brief documentation summary if requested.
Documentation
Use templates in each asset file.
