Follow the steps to complete the symptom checklist online.

1. To begin, click the ‘Get Form’ button to access the checklist and open it in your preferred digital editor.
2. Read through the introduction of the checklist carefully to understand the purpose of the questionnaire. This section will help you prepare for the subsequent questions.
3. In Section 1, assess your symptoms over the past month. For each symptom listed, select a frequency option: 'never', 'sometimes', 'most of the time', or 'all of the time'. Each option corresponds to a numerical value which you will total later.
4. Once you complete Section 1, sum the scores from each column and write down your first score as instructed at the bottom of the section.
5. Move to Section 2, where you will answer yes or no to a series of questions related to tick exposure and symptoms. For each 'yes' answer, note the corresponding point value.
6. Calculate your points from Section 2 and add them to your first score recorded from Section 1 to arrive at your Ongoing Score.
7. Proceed to Section 3, where you will reflect on your physical and mental health over the past 30 days. Count the days you experienced poor health and refer to the provided cutoffs to determine your points.
8. Add the points from Section 3 to your Ongoing Score to get a preliminary final score.
9. In Section 4, review your ratings for specific symptoms. If you rated a '3' for all required symptoms, add an additional 5 points to your final score.
10. Record your FINAL SCORE, then compare it to the scale provided at the end of the checklist for assessment regarding tick-borne illness likelihood.
11. Fill in your name and today's date at the bottom of the form.
12. Finally, you can save changes, download, print, or share the completed form as needed.
