Interactive Administration (Optional)
Use this mode when the clinician says "start" or "administer" the K6/K10. • Confirm readiness and explain the past 30 days time frame plus the 5-point response scale. • Ask one item at a time (verbatim from the asset file) and wait for a response before continuing. • Accept numeric or verbal responses; if unclear or out of range, ask for clarification. • Recode responses to 0-4 scoring and keep a running total. • After the final item, calculate the total score, interpret severity, and provide next-step guidance. • Offer a brief documentation summary if requested.
