Each item is scored from one 'none of the time' to five 'all of the time'. Scores of the 10 items are then summed, yielding a minimum score of 10 and a maximum score of 50. Scores totaling less than 20 indicate that a person is likely to be mentally well; scores between 20-24 suggest a person is likely to have a mild mental health disorder; 25-29 are likely to indicate a moderate mental health disorder; and those scoring 30 or higher are likely to have a severe mental health disorder.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Financial Wellbeing Scale is scored from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate a greater sense of financial well-being.

Each response is scored as 0 (Yes, limited a lot); 50 (Yes, limited a little); or 100 (No, not limited at all). Averages closer to 100 indicate better physical functioning while averages closer to 0 indicate worse physical functioning.

4 items to assess past four week food insecurity: 1) worry about not having enough food, 2) inability to eat preferred foods, 3) having to eat foods that they did not want to eat, and 4) eating less because there was not enough food. Items scored as "yes" (1) or "no" (0).

The Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale (CHAOS) is a 15-item scale that assesses household environmental instability. Each item is scored from 1 to 4. Scores of the items are then summed, with scores ranging from 15 to 60. The higher the score, the higher the level of environmental chaos in the home.

The Composite Abuse Scale (CAS R-SF) is a 15-item scale designed to capture a respondent's experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) with a particular emphasis on the frequency of experiences. Respondents are asked whether they have experienced any of the 15 IPV items (e.g., My partner(s) shook, pushed, grabbed, or threw me). If they respond yes, they are asked to indicate how often it happened in the past 12 months (e.g., Not in the past 12 months, Once, A few times, Monthly, Weekly, Daily/Almost Daily), scored as 0 to 5. Total scores, ranging from 0 to 75, are computed by calculating the mean frequency of all abuse items and multiplying this score by 15, where there are responses for at least 11 of the 15 items (~70%). Scores for the psychological abuse (range: 0 to 30), physical abuse (range: 0 to 25), and sexual abuse (range: 0 to 10) subscales are calculated in the same manner. Higher scores indicate increased severity of experiences of intimate partner violence.
