GAD-SBQ
Questionnaire of Safety Behaviors for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-SBQ)
The GAD-SBQ is a self-report tool designed to identify and measure the safety behaviors specifically associated with generalized anxiety disorder. These behaviors are often used by individuals to reduce their perceived anxiety, but they can paradoxically maintain or worsen anxiety symptoms over the long term.
