GAD-7 vs PHQ-9

Harmonising and comparing GAD-7 vs PHQ-9

The GAD-7 is a seven-item tool that measures the severity of a person’s anxiety. The PHQ-9 assesses the extent of depression.

Harmony is an AI tool which uses Large Language Models to automatically match items from different questionnaires, even across different languages. You can try Harmony here: https://harmonydata.ac.uk/app. Harmony is also available as a Python and R package.
