Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Anxiety is the primary research variable in this study, and will be assessed in various ways: (1) The short version of the Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire (BIQ; Bishop et al., 2001) consists of 14 items that measure the characteristics of behavioral inhibition, which is an early marker of anxiety problems in young children. (2) The Preschool Anxiety Scale-Revised (PAS-R) is a recently developed 30-item questionnaire (Spence et al., 2001) that can be used to measure symptoms of DSM-IV-TR defined anxiety disorders in 3- to 6-year-old children. (3) The Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-IV - Child version (ADIS-C; Silverman & Albano, 1996; Dutch version by Siebelink & Treffers, 2001) is a semi-structured interview that is administered to parents and that assesses whether children fulfill the diagnostic criteria of DSM-IV-TR anxiety disorders. (4) The Koala Fear Questionnaire (KFQ; Muris et al., 2003) is a standardized interview instrument that has been specifically developed to measure fear and anxiety in children younger than 7 years.	—
