Social Support Screening

Script: This is a difficult situation with many stressors and we are here to help you. I want to ask you a few questions about normal reactions to leaving Afghanistan that people may have.

• Have you felt too sad (jigar khun)? ☐Yes ☐No

• Have you been worrying or thinking too much (esterab)? ☐Yes ☐No

• Does sadness or worrying make it difficult to take care of yourself or your family? ☐Yes ☐No

Note for providers: A positive answer to any of these questions warrants further discussion to inquire about the need for referral to the Social Support Team.
