Short Description of Instrument

The Headache Needs Assessment Survey (HANA) is a brief, self-administered questionnaire that assesses two dimensions of the impact of migraine: frequency and bothersomeness. This instrument has seven questions with the corresponding subscales: Anxiety/Worry, Depression/Discouragement, Self- control, Energy, function/Work, Family/Social Activities, and Overall Impact. For each item, the respondent provides data on both frequency and bothersomeness.

Psychometric Properties

The HANA has good internal consistency, reliability, construct validity and responsiveness. The HANA has demonstrated good test-retest reliability (.77) and internal consistency (.92). There is statistically significant correlation between HANA and Headache Disability Inventory total scores and high correlations with disease and treatment characteristics.

Scoring

Scoring for the HANA is the product of the item scores that resulted from seven weighted problem scores. These scores are summed to yield a total score (range, 7 to 175).
