TLDR
The data indicate that telephone administration of the ADIS-C-IV is a valid way to differentiate children who have anxiety disorders from those who have no disorder or other disorders, providing a less resource-demanding alternative to face-to-face assessment.Abstract:
Objective: The current study determined the viability of using the telephone to facilitate assessment of children using the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for children for DSM-IV (ADIS-C-IV). Method: Diagnoses established during telephone administration of the ADIS-C-IV-Parent version were compared with diagnoses obtained during standard administration of the ADIS-C-IV using both Child and Parent versions. Seventy-three children and their parents participated in counterbalanced, repeated assessments. Results: The level of agreement between telephone and standard administration for principal diagnosis (κ = 0.86), individual anxiety disorders (κ = 0.63-0.86), and other disorders (κ = 0.79-0.91) were in the good to excellent range. Additionally, agreement on overall suitability for an anxiety treatment program was excellent (κ = 0.97). Conclusions: The data indicate that telephone administration of the ADIS-C-IV is a valid way to differentiate children who have anxiety disorders from those who have no disorder or other disorders, providing a less resource-demanding alternative to face-to-face assessment.read more

TL;DR: Online delivery of CBT, with minimal therapist support, is equally efficacious as clinic-based, face-to-face therapy in the treatment of anxiety disorders among adolescents, with benefits of reduced therapist time and greater accessibility for families who have difficulty accessing clinic- based CBT.

A measure of anxiety symptoms among children
TL;DR: The results of confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses supported six factors consistent with the hypothesized diagnostic categories of anxiety, with support also for a model in which the 1st-order factors loaded significantly on a single 2nd-order factor of anxiety in general.

The Development and Well-Being Assessment: description and initial validation of an integrated assessment of child and adolescent psychopathology.
TL;DR: The DAWBA successfully combined the cheapness and simplicity of respondent-based measures with the clinical persuasiveness of investigator-based diagnoses and has considerable potential as an epidemiological measure and may prove to be of clinical value too.
