Kleinman's Tool to Elicit Health Beliefs in Clinical Encounters


  • What do you call your problem? What name does it have?
  • What do you think caused your problem?
  • Why do you think it started when it did?
  • What does your sickness do to you? How does it work?
  • How severe is it? Will it have a short or long course?
  • What do you fear most about your disorder?
  • What are the chief problems that your sickness has caused for you?
  • What kind of treatment do you think you should receive?
  • What are the most important results you hope to receive from the treatment?
