Parental Anxiety Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to evaluate anxiety-related concerns in caregivers, with attention to both general emotional tension and worries specifically tied to parenting and a child’s schooling. The Parental Anxiety Assessment is intended to support efficient identification of elevated parental anxiety that may warrant further clinical inquiry.
The instrument includes 40 items and typically requires about 8 minutes to complete. Items are commonly interpreted to differentiate broad anxiety symptoms from parenting-focused concerns, supporting use in clinical screening and treatment planning when caregiver distress may affect family functioning. The Parental Anxiety Assessment is attributed to Thomas M. Achenbach.
