    Uploaded by

    The document is a 41-question screening tool called the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) for children to self-report their anxiety symptoms over the past 3 months. The child rates each statement as "not true," "somewhat true," or "very true." Higher total scores indicate more anxiety, with scores over 25 suggesting an anxiety disorder and over 30 being more specific. Certain subscale scores can indicate specific disorders like generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, or social anxiety disorder. Scoring guidelines are provided.
