Separation Anxiety Questionnaire/Evidence
Method evidence record

Separation Anxiety Questionnaire

The Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (SAQ) is a self-report instrument measuring the intensity of separation anxiety experienced during or anticipated during separation from attachment figures. Developed by Sharpley and colleagues in 2000, the SAQ assesses worry, fear, and distress related to being apart from parents, partners, or other significant caregivers. It is used to evaluate separation anxiety in children, adolescents, and adults, and to monitor treatment response in separation anxiety disorder.
