Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) Author: Birmaher et al., 1997 The SCARED is a 41-item self- and parent-report measure designed to screen for common anxiety disorders in youths ages 6-18. The SCARED can be used as a screening tool (Monga et al., 2000) and to monitor symptom changes over time (Muris, Mayer, Bartelds, Tierney, & Bogie 2001). The SCARED assesses symptoms associated with PD, GAD, SAD, social phobia, and school refusal. Sample items include, “When I get frightened, I feel like passing out” and “I worry about being as good as other kids.” Each item is rated on a 3-point Likert scale ranging from zero (“Not True or Hardly Ever True”) to two (“True or Often True”). This measure was designed to be administered in ten minutes. A total score of 25 on the youth SCARED is recommended as the best cut-off point to discriminate between youths suffering from anxiety and those who do not. The SCARED shows adequate test-retest reliability over a period of

The CADBI is a 25-item parent- or teacher-report measure assessing disruptive behaviors in youths (age range not specified).

The CADBI consists of two subscales assessing oppositional behavior towards peers and adults, and hyperactivity/impulsivity (Burns et al., 2001a; 2001b). Sample items include: “Annoys peers on purpose,” “Loses temper or gets angry with adults when doesn’t get own way” and “Sasse's adults.” Each item is rated on an 8-point Likert scale from one (“Never in the past month”) to eight (“10 or more
