Improving access to psychological therapy: initial evaluation of the two demonstration sites (2008, neutral): “For the PHQ-9, a score of 10 or over indicates clinical caseness; for the GAD-7, recent research indicates a score of 8 or over indicates clinical caseness (Kroenke et al, 2002; 2007).”
Validation and Standardization of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener (GAD-7) in the General Population (2008, methodology): “5.(3) Therefore, GAD-7 sum scores of 10 should be followed by an extended diagnostic evaluation for any anxiety disorder and the initiation of treatment as appropriate.”
Validity and Reliability Study for the Turkish Adaptation of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7)Scale (2013, background): “When the treshold for the total score is selected as 10, the sensitivity for the diagnosis of GAD is 89% and the specificity is 82% (4).”

Canadian clinical practice guidelines for the management of anxiety, posttraumatic stress and obsessive-compulsive disorders (2014, background): “They are associated with substantial functional impairment, which increases as the severity of anxiety [14] or the number of comorbid anxiety disorders increases [7,15].”
Depression, anxiety and somatization in primary care: syndrome overlap and functional impairment. (2008, methodology): “Anxiety Anxiety was assessed with the 7-item PHQ Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), which has good internal consistency and test–retest reliability as well as convergent, construct, criterion, procedural and factorial validity for the diagnosis of GAD [4,30,31].”
Social Anxiety Disorder (2008, methodology): “Specifically there has been little development of age-appropriate brief screening or case identification instruments for young people that might be comparable with, for example, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale – 2 items (GAD-2) (Kroenke et al., 2007), which was identified as a useful instrume”
