Completing an Assessment
ReachLink currently offers several types of assessments, each designed to be short, clear, and supportive.
Available Assessment Types:
- Anxiety Assessment
- Depression Assessment
- Sleep Assessment
Each one follows the same structure:
Step 1 — Read the question
Each question is simple and focused on how you've been feeling lately.
Step 2 — Choose the answer that feels most accurate
Most questions use a small scale such as:
- Not at all
- Sometimes
- Often
- Almost every day
Step 3 — Tap “Next” to continue
Follow the prompts until you reach the end of the assessment.
Step 4 — Review your summary
At the end, you’ll receive a gentle summary of your results.
Example: Anxiety Assessment
The Anxiety Assessment asks a series of questions about worry, restlessness, sleep, and how much these feelings affect your daily routine.
Each question screen includes:
- A clear question
- Multiple-choice responses
- A “Next” button
- A progress indicator showing where you are
Example: Depression Assessment
The Depression Assessment helps you check in on mood, motivation, interest, energy, and overall emotional well-being.
Example: Sleep Assessment
The Sleep Assessment guides you through questions about your rest quality, sleep duration, routines, and any challenges you may be noticing.
Viewing Your Results
After completing any assessment, you’ll see a Results Summary.
This may include:
- A brief explanation of what your answers suggest
- Encouraging notes about next steps
- A reminder that assessments are not a diagnosis
