Q-cultural ASSESS - the online test portal for practice

Q-cultural ASSESS is a free online tool for professionals in clinical practice and research designed to digitally assess mental health symptoms and stress. A key focus is on its use

with refugees.


The tool provides various language versions of scientifically validated questionnaires, including those addressing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms, somatic complaints, and suicidal ideation.

Q-cultural ASSESS enables the digital administration and automated scoring of surveys, as well as the export of raw data and results as PDF files. Repeated surveys to monitor changes over time are also possible.

Notes on Interpretation: The available language versions and their corresponding psychometric findings may differ. In particular, normative values, reference values, and cut-offs cannot be readily transferred to other language versions or populations. When interpreting the results, please consider the information in the respective test manuals and the individual diagnostic context.

The results can support clinical assessment but do not replace a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation.


Use is available after free registration.
