The Katz ADLs are scored on a scale of 0 to 6. Patients are assigned a score of 1 for each of 6 total activities (e.g., bathing, dressing, feeding) that they require assistance to complete. A score >0 indicates partial disability in ADLs.

2

The FAQ assessment of IADLs surveys patients on their ability to complete 10 tasks that support independent living (e.g., managing money, arranging transportation). Each activity is assigned a scaled score of 0–2 where 0 indicates participants can complete the task independently, 1 indicates that the participant requires some help to complete the task, and 2 indicates complete dependence on someone else to complete the task. All scores are totaled together and a score >2 indicates dependence in IADLs, whereas a score >8 indicates disability in IADLs.

3

The BDI-II surveys participants on 21 questions related to symptomatology of depression. Each item is rated on a severity scale of 0–3 where 0 indicates no presence of the symptom and 3 indicates the most extreme form of each symptom. The scores are totaled and classified as follows: 0–13 is minimal, 14–19 is mild depression, 20–28 is moderate depression, and 29–63 is severe depression.

4

The PCL-S is a 17-item self-report measure reflecting DSM-IV symptoms of PTSD. Each item/symptom is rated from 1–5 based on increasing severity where 1 indicates no presence of the symptom at all and 5 indicates extreme severity of the symptom. Scores are totaled together ranging from 17–85 and are classified as follows: 17–29 is little or no risk of PTSD, 28–29 is mild severity of PTSD, 30–44 is moderate severity of PTSD, and 45–85 is a high severity of PTSD.
