| Anxiety. Timepoint: 2 months. Method of measurement: n this study, the "Revised Version of the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders-71 (SCARED-71)" will be used as a data collection tool. This questionnaire was developed by Borden and colleagues (2009) to assess the severity of anxiety disorder symptoms in children and adolescents aged 8 to 18 years. It consists of 71 questions designed to evaluate panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, separation anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and specific phobias. The internal consistency has been reported to range from 0.91 to 0.95 in the normative group and from 0.86 to 0.94 in the clinical group. Test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and treatment sensitivity have also been reported as satisfactory. In Iran, Palahang and colleagues (2012) have standardized the Persian version of this questionnaire, reporting a two-week test-retest reliability coefficient of 0.52 to 0.85, indicating that this questionnaire has good validity and reliability in the Iranian sample as well. The scale is rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Respondents indicate their level of agreement with each question on a Likert scale ranging from "none" to "extremely." "None" receives a score of zero, while "extremely" receives a score of four. The total score is obtained by summing the scores of the subscales, with a cutoff point for the total score set at 30. | — |
