PHQ-9 Auto-Scored Form
The 9-question Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is a diagnostic tool introduced in 2001 to screen adult patients in a primary care setting for the presence and severity of depression. It rates depression based on the self-administered Patient Health Questionnaire.
Healthie's Forms Library includes several forms for Behavioral Health practitioners, including a version of the PHQ-9 that is automatically available at no cost, to all members.
Providers can request clients to complete this form, or add it to an intake flow for client onboarding.
This form will auto-score, making it easy for providers to collect completed forms, and also assess results.
