This Evidence Base Update of measures of youth anxiety symptoms is a companion piece to our update on anxiety symptom measures (Etkin et al., 2021). We rate the psychometric properties of the parent-report measures as Adequate, Good, or Excellent using criteria developed by Hunsley and Mash (2008) and Youngstrom et al. (2017). Our review reveals that the evidence base for parent-report measures is considerably less developed compared with the evidence base for youth self-report measures. Nevertheless, several measures, the parent-report Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders, Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, and Spence Children's Anxiety Scale, were found to have Good to Excellent psychometric properties. We conclude our review with suggestions about which parent-report youth anxiety measures are best suited to perform different assessment functions and directions for additional research to expand and strengthen the evidence base.
本证据基础更新版针对青少年焦虑症状的测量工具是我们关于焦虑症状测量工具的更新版（Etkin 等人，2021 年）的姊妹篇。我们使用 Hunsley 和 Mash（2008 年）和 Youngstrom 等人（2017 年）制定的标准，将父母报告测量工具的心理测量特性评为“充分”、“良好”或“优秀”。我们的审查结果表明，与青少年自我报告测量工具的证据基础相比，父母报告测量工具的证据基础要差得多。然而，有几个测量工具，即父母报告的儿童焦虑相关情绪障碍筛查、多维焦虑量表和斯宾塞儿童焦虑量表，被发现具有良好到优秀的心理测量特性。我们在审查结束时提出了一些建议，即哪些父母报告的青少年焦虑测量工具最适合执行不同的评估功能，并为进一步扩大和加强证据基础提供了研究方向。
