SSQ6
Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ6)
The SSQ6 is a short-form tool designed to assess the perceived availability of, and satisfaction with, the social support received. It provides valuable insights into an individual's support network and the perceived quality of that support, which are useful in diagnosis, psychotherapeutic support, and research.

Scoring & interpretation
For each situation, the patient indicates the number of people they can count on (perceived support) and their level of satisfaction with this support (on a scale from 1 to 6). Scores are calculated separately for the quantity of support (mean number of sources per item) and for satisfaction (mean of the satisfaction scores).
