• ORS (Outcome Rating Scale) – A self-report tool used at the start of therapy sessions to measure a client’s subjective well-being across individual, relational, and social domains.
• SRS (Session Rating Scale) – Assesses the strength of the therapeutic alliance at the end of a session, covering the relationship, goals, and methods used in therapy.
• WSAS - (Work and Social Adjustment Scale – Adult) – Measures the impact of mental health difficulties on work, home life, and social interactions.
• WSAS - (Work and Social Adjustment Scale – Child/Adolescent) – Assesses how psychological distress affects a young person’s academic, social, and daily life.

• GAD7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7) – Evaluates the severity of generalized anxiety disorder symptoms.
• WHO5 (WHO-5 Well-Being Index) – A short, five-item questionnaire developed by the WHO to assess psychological well-being and screen for depression.

2. Custom OpenFIT Surveys

These are custom-developed measures developed for agencies/health systems working with OpenFIT and used with their populations.
