Spørgeskemaet dækker alle items inkluderet i kliniker-skalaen, Udvalg for Kliniske Undersøgelser (UKU) (fraset psykisk og fysisk afhængighed) samt spørgsmål, der undersøger for inkontinens, gynækomasti hos kvinder, synsforstyrrelser, mavesmerter og øget/nedsat appetit.
Derudover evaluerer ASAQ graden hvormed patienten evt. finder bivirkningerne generende samt compliance.
