Abstract

The parent version of the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (ReADS-p) is a 47-item parent-report questionnaire of youth anxiety and depression, with scales corresponding to separation anxiety disorder (SAD), social phobia (SOC), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder (PD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OeD), and major depressive disorder (MDD). As the RCADS-P is currently the only parent-report questionnaire that concurrently assesses child and adolescent symptomatology of depression and specific anxiety disorders in accordance with the DSM-N diagnostic criteria, the present study examined the psychometric properties of the RCADS-P in a large (N=119), clinic-referred sample of children and adolescents. The RCADS-P demonstrated favorable psychometric properties in this sample, including high internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and adequate convergent and divergent validity with selected validity criteria.
