CAT Test Score

The COPD Assessment Test (CAT Test) is a questionnaire for people with COPD. It is designed to measure the impact of COPD on a person’s life, and how this changes over time.

For each item below, please choose the box that best describes your health currently.

Be sure to only select one response for each question.

Example: I am very happy 0 1 2 3 4 5 I am very sad. A score of 1 would show that you feel far closer to the “I am very happy” statement.
