Short Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI-18)

The Short Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI-18) is a widely used self-report measure designed to assess health anxiety and illness-related fears. It evaluates excessive worry about health, heightened awareness of bodily sensations, fear of serious illness, and concerns about medical problems. The questionnaire can be used in both clinical and non-clinical populations.

Participants select one statement from four options that best describes their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors related to health and illness. Each question contains statements arranged from least severe to most severe health anxiety.

This assessment is intended for educational, research, and self-reflection purposes only. Results are anonymous and should not be considered a medical diagnosis or substitute for professional psychological evaluation.

Each question is scored from 0 to 3. Higher total scores indicate greater levels of health anxiety, illness worry, and preoccupation with physical health.
