Evidence-based assessment serves several critical functions in clinical child psychological science, including being a foundation for evidence-based treatment delivery. In this Evidence Base Update, we provide an evaluative review of the most widely used youth self-report measures assessing anxiety and its disorders. Guided by a set of evaluative criteria (De Los Reyes & Langer, 2018), we rate the measures as Excellent, Good, or Adequate across their psychometric properties (e.g., construct validity). For the eight measures evaluated, most ratings assigned were Good followed by Excellent, and the minority of ratings were Adequate. We view these results overall as positive and encouraging, as they show that these youth anxiety self-report measures can be used with relatively high confidence to accomplish key assessment functions. Recommendations and future directions for further advancements to the evidence base are discussed.
循证评估在临床儿童心理学科学中具有几个关键功能，包括作为循证治疗提供的基础。在本次循证基础更新中，我们对最广泛使用的评估焦虑及其障碍的青少年自评量表进行了评估性综述。根据一套评估标准（De Los Reyes & Langer, 2018），我们根据心理测量特性（例如，构念效度）将这些量表评为优秀、良好或足够。在所评估的八项措施中，大多数评级为良好，其次是优秀，少数评级为足够。我们总体上认为这些结果是积极和令人鼓舞的，因为它们表明这些青少年焦虑自评量表可以相对有信心地用于完成关键评估功能。讨论了进一步提高证据基础的建议和未来方向。
