Welcome to DAPOS

The DAPOS is a new questionnaire, designed to measure Depression, Anxiety and Positive Outlook in people who suffer from pain. This website is for people who would like to use the DAPOS, find out more about it, or read about similar research. This site was built so that we can continue to develop the DAPOS: testing it in different groups, across different nations and languages, and using it for different purposes.

How does the DAPOS differ from other measures?

• No somatic items
• Includes positive outlook scale
• Short: 11 items
• Easy to comprehend
