  • Interpreting K10 Results
    While no universally agreed interpretation categories or groupings exist for K10 scores, a number of different methods are used in Australia, depending on the purpose of administration and the setting in which it is delivered. Below is a generally adopted interpretation table that has been validated by the Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety and Depression (CRUfAD), Andrews and Slade (2001). Scores are grouped into four levels of psychological distress. See table below.

     

    Severity of Psychological Distress According to K10 Score

    K10 Score Level of psychological distress
    10-15 Low
    16-21 Moderate
    22-29 High
    30-50 Very high
