Health Anxiety Inventory/Evidence
Method evidence record

Health Anxiety Inventory

The Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI) is a 14-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure health anxiety and health-related worry, including concerns about having serious illness, fear of dying, and preoccupation with bodily symptoms. Developed by Salkovskis, Rimes, Warwick, and Clark in 2002, the HAI has become a standard instrument for assessing health anxiety in clinical and research settings, particularly valuable for distinguishing health anxiety from general anxiety or depression.
