WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Child Anxiety Scale Test

uneasiness

This instrument is a brief self-report measure intended to screen for anxiety-related concerns in children across common life contexts. The Child Anxiety Scale uses structured item ratings to help identify situations in which a child experiences heightened worry or fear.

It contains 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Results are generally used to guide clinical interviewing, inform case formulation, and support decisions about further assessment or monitoring over time.

When interpreted alongside developmental history, caregiver/teacher input, and clinical judgment, the Child Anxiety Scale can help clarify areas for targeted support and determine whether additional evaluation is indicated. The version referenced here is attributed to John S. March.
