Depression and Anxiety, 23, 340-346. doi: 10.1002/da.20138 Primary use / Purpose: The Illness/Injury Sensitivity Index-Revised (ISI-R) is 9-item revision of the original Illness/Injury Sensitivity Index (Taylor, 1993) designed to measure fears of illness and injury (e.g., I worry about my physical health). Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (agree very little) to 4 (agree very much). Background: Two factors, Fear of Illness (e.g., I worry about becoming physically ill) and Fear of Injury (e.g., I am frightened of being injured), are represented within the Illness/Injury Sensitivity Index-Revised (ISI-R; Carleton, Asmundson, & Taylor, 2005); however, the total summed score is used in most analyses. Psychometrics: The ISI-R has been shown to have excellent internal consistency (α=.86), convergent validity with other measures related to injury and illness (r>.65), and correlates highly with the original index, r=.96 (Carleton, Park, & Asmundson, 2006). Other Information: Scoring: Fear of Illness Subscale: items 3,4,6,7,8 Fear of Injury Subscale: items 1,2,5,9 Total score is often used, however. Items 7 & 8 from original measure are removed from this revised version Digital Object Identifier (DOI): http://dx.doi.org/10.13072/midss.250
