Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire—Revised 2
The Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire—Revised 2 (PRAQ-R2) is a 10-item self-report measure designed specifically to assess anxiety unique to pregnancy, focusing on two core pregnancy-related concerns: fear of bearing a handicapped child and worries about changes to one's own body and appearance. Developed and refined by Huizink and colleagues, the PRAQ-R2 is based on the observation that pregnancy-related anxiety reflects distinct cognitive and emotional preoccupations that differ from generalized anxiety disorders.
