0-3 points across these items suggests minimal anxiety symptoms. No clinical follow-up is typically indicated at this level.

This mirrors the GAD-2/GAD-style sum of 5 items scored 0-3; on the full GAD-7 a score of 10 (out of 21) is the validated cutoff for likely generalized anxiety, so this is a screen only.
