Evidence Snapshot
Summary
In testing with Syrian refugee children in Lebanon, SCARED subscales had only moderate evidence of internal consistency and the total scores showed modest ability to discriminate between children with and without anxiety disorders. This version of the SCARED is not currently recommended for the purposes of screening for or estimating prevalence of anxiety disorders in the Syrian refugee context.
