Goal Attainment Score Calculator

Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) calculates a standardized T-score from individualized patient or program goals, each weighted by importance and difficulty. A T-score of 50 means goals were met exactly as expected.

Enter up to 5 goals. For each goal, select the attainment level achieved and assign a weight (importance).

#### Goal 1

Attainment Level Achieved

-- Select -- -2: Much less than expected -1: Somewhat less than expected 0: Expected outcome (goal met) 1: Somewhat more than expected 2: Much more than expected

Weight / Importance (1–4)

#### Goal 2 (optional)

Attainment Level Achieved

-- Not used -- -2: Much less than expected -1: Somewhat less than expected 0: Expected outcome (goal met) 1: Somewhat more than expected 2: Much more than expected

Weight / Importance (1–4)

#### Goal 3 (optional)

Attainment Level Achieved

-- Not used -- -2: Much less than expected -1: Somewhat less than expected 0: Expected outcome (goal met) 1: Somewhat more than expected 2: Much more than expected

Weight / Importance (1–4)

#### Goal 4 (optional)

Attainment Level Achieved

-- Not used -- -2: Much less than expected -1: Somewhat less than expected 0: Expected outcome (goal met) 1: Somewhat more than expected 2: Much more than expected

Weight / Importance (1–4)

#### Goal 5 (optional)

Attainment Level Achieved

-- Not used -- -2: Much less than expected -1: Somewhat less than expected 0: Expected outcome (goal met) 1: Somewhat more than expected 2: Much more than expected

Weight / Importance (1–4)

Inter-goal Correlation (ρ) — default 0.30

Typical value is 0.30 (Kiresuk & Sherman, 1968). Range: 0–0.99.

Calculate GAS T-Score

function goaCalc() { var resultDiv = document.getElementById('goa-result'); resultDiv.style.display = 'none'; resultDiv.innerHTML = '';

// Collect goals var goals = []; for (var i = 1; i ⚠ Goal 1 is required. Please select an attainment level.'; return; } if (levelVal === '') continue; // optional goal not used

var level = parseFloat(levelVal); var weight = parseFloat(weightVal);

if (isNaN(weight) || weight 4 || !Number.isInteger(weight)) { resultDiv.style.display = 'block'; resultDiv.innerHTML = '⚠ Goal ' + i + ': Weight must be a whole number between 1 and 4.'; return; } goals.push({ level: level, weight: weight, index: i }); }

if (goals.length === 0) { resultDiv.style.display = 'block'; resultDiv.innerHTML = '⚠ Please enter at least one goal.'; return; }

var rhoEl = document.getElementById('goa-rho'); var rho = parseFloat(rhoEl.value); if (isNaN(rho) || rho = 1) { resultDiv.style.display = 'block'; resultDiv.innerHTML = '⚠ Inter-goal correlation (ρ) must be between 0 and 0.99.'; return; }

// GAS T-score formula (Kiresuk & Sherman, 1968): // T = 50 + 10 * (Σ w_i * x_i) / sqrt( (1-ρ) * Σ w_i² + ρ * (Σ w_i)² ) // where x_i = attainment level (-2 to +2), w_i = weight

var sumWX = 0; var sumW2 = 0; var sumW = 0;

for (var g = 0; g ⚠ Cannot compute score: denominator is zero. Check weights and correlation.'; return; }

var tScore = 50 + 10 * (sumWX / denominator); tScore = Math.round(tScore * 10) / 10;

// Interpretation var interpretation = ''; var interpColor = ''; if (tScore = 40 && tScore 50 && tScore Goal ' + goals[g].index + '' + levelLabel + '' + goals[g].weight + '' + (goals[g].weight * goals[g].level).toFixed(1) + ''; }

resultDiv.style.display = 'block'; resultDiv.innerHTML = '### GAS T-Score: ' + tScore.toFixed(1) + ' ' + '' + interpretation + '

' + '' + '' + 'Goal' + 'Level (x)' + 'Weight (w)' + 'w × x' + '' + tableRows + '' + '' + 'Σ(w × x): ' + sumWX.toFixed(2) + '  |  ' + 'Σw²: ' + sumW2.toFixed(2) + '  |  ' + '(Σw)²: ' + (sumW * sumW).toFixed(2) + '  |  ' + 'ρ: ' + rho.toFixed(2) + '  |  ' + 'Denominator: ' + denominator.toFixed(4) + '

'; }

#### Formula

GAS T-Score (Kiresuk & Sherman, 1968):

T = 50 + 10 × [ Σ(wᵢ · xᵢ) ] / √[ (1 − ρ) · Σwᵢ² + ρ · (Σwᵢ)² ]
