Total weighted score
Interpret as a severity reference, not a diagnosis. The published markers
are based on 306 non-clinical respondents. Scores above +1.0 SD may reflect subclinical
problems; scores above +1.5 to +2.0 SD may indicate clinically significant dysfunction
meriting further assessment, treatment, and follow-up. Clinical judgment should guide
interpretation.
