The Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI) is a questionnaire designed to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours around health.

It helps identify whether you may be experiencing health anxiety — a persistent worry about having, or developing, a serious illness.

 

🧠 What does it measure?
The HAI looks at things like:

How often you worry about your health

Whether you check your body for signs of illness

How you interpret physical symptoms (e.g., a headache or ache)

Whether health worries affect your day-to-day life

How easily you feel reassured after a check-up or test

It captures both emotional worry and behavioural patterns, such as checking, reassurance-seeking, or avoidance.
