We report on the use of the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) to identify individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Fifty individuals with primary or secondary GAD and 114 individuals with social anxiety disorder (without GAD) completed the PSWQ. In receiver operating characteristic analyses, a score of 65 simultaneously optimized sensitivity and specificity in discriminating individuals with GAD from individuals with social anxiety disorder. Results support the use of the PSWQ in screening individuals likely to meet criteria for GAD who present for treatment at an anxiety disorders specialty clinic.
我们报告了使用宾夕法尼亚州立大学忧虑问卷(PSWQ)来识别广泛性焦虑症(GAD)患者的情况。50名患有原发性或继发性广泛性焦虑症的个体以及114名患有社交焦虑症(无广泛性焦虑症)的个体完成了PSWQ问卷。在接受者操作特征分析中,65分的得分在区分广泛性焦虑症患者和社交焦虑症患者时同时优化了敏感性和特异性。结果支持使用PSWQ对在焦虑症专科诊所就诊、可能符合广泛性焦虑症标准的个体进行筛查。
