The IDRlabs Coronaphobia Test (IDR-CT©) was developed by IDRlabs International. The IDR-CT was informed by the Severity Measure for Specific Phobia – Adult, and the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for specific phobias was utilized. The IDR-CT was inspired by the standards set by the World Health Organization.
The IDRlabs Coronaphobia Test was based on the Severity Measure for Specific Phobia – Adult published by the American Psychiatric Association (principal authors Craske, Wittchen, Bogels, Stein, Andrews, and Lebeu). Coronaphobia is a recently developed term used to capture the growing number of individuals with excessive anxiety and fear responses due to the current COVID-19 situation. The Severity Measure for Specific Phobia is a clinical instrument, intended for use by qualified professionals and researchers. The present test is intended for educational purposes only. IDRlabs International and the present IDRlabs Coronaphobia Test are independent from any of the above researchers, organizations, or affiliated institutions.

This test is to be used for educational purposes only. A definitive mental health diagnosis can be made only by a physician, psychiatrist, or other mental health professional.
