RCADS-25 Parent/Caregiver Assessment

61 Shared Subjects

The Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale-25 (RCADS-25) is a 25-item scale that measures levels of anxiety (e.g. “I worry when I think I have done poorly at something”) and low mood (e.g. “I feel sad or empty”). The scale has two subscales (Total Anxiety and Total Depression) and an overall score. Both the anxiety and depression subscales have strong relation to anxiety and depression diagnostic groups. All items assess the frequency of symptoms and are rated on a 4-point Likert scale. The child self-report scale can be used by children and adolescents between the ages of 8 to 18. A parent (or caregiver) version is also available to rate a child or adolescent's level of anxiety and depressive symptoms based on personal observations (e.g., “Nothing is much fun for my child anymore.”)
