The<unk>  for<unk><unk><unk>  Emotional<unk>  (SCARED) is a self-report<unk> ing questionnaire for<unk><unk>  developed in 1997. The SCARED is intended for youth, 9–18 years old, and their parents to complete in about 10 minutes. It can discriminate between depression and<unk> , as well as among distinct<unk><unk> . The SCARED is useful for generalized<unk> <unk>  social<unk> <unk>  phobic<unk> , and potentially school<unk>  problems. Most available self-report instruments that measure<unk>  in<unk> ren look at general aspects of<unk>  rather than Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental<unk>  (DSM) categorizations. The SCARED was developed as an instrument for both<unk> ren and their parents that would encompass several DSM-IV categorizations of the<unk><unk> : somatic/panic, generalized<unk> , separation<unk> , social phobia, and school phobia. Each question measures the frequency or intensity of symptoms or behaviors. This assessment has been found to be both valid and reliable in research settings. In 2017 SCARED was adapted to create the<unk>  for Adult<unk><unk><unk>  (SCAARED). The SCAARED<unk> s for four factors of<unk><unk><unk> ; somatic/panic/agoraphobia, generalized<unk> , separation<unk> , and social<unk> . The SCAARED will be used in longitudinal studies that follow youth into adulthood, as well as studies that compare<unk>  and adult populations.
