Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate an 8-week cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) treatment specifically designed for adolescents with ADHD and comorbid anxiety. Method: Using a multiple baseline design, nine adolescents (13 years to 16 years 9 months) received a weekly CBT, which focused on four identified anxiety-arousing times. Participants self-recorded their levels of anxiety for each of the four times during baseline, intervention, and a maintenance phase. Anxiety was also assessed using the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC). Results: Paired samples t tests supported the success of the intervention. Interrupted time-series data for each participant revealed varying rates of success across the four times, however. The MASC data revealed significant reductions in Physical Symptoms of Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Separation Anxiety, Harm Avoidance, and Total Anxiety. Conclusion: The data demonstrate the efficacy of a CBT program for the treatment of comorbid anxiety in adolescents with ADHD.

Abstract:
Background: Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) ratings are commonly used during exposure tasks in cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) for anxiety. Aims: The present study examined patterns and predictors of SUDS in a sample of anxiety-disordered youth. Method: Youth (N = 99) aged 7 to 14 (M = 10.4, SD = 1.8) were treated with CBT for social phobia (SP), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and/or separation anxiety disorder (SAD). Analyses were conducted using hierarchical linear modeling. Results: Child's peak SUDS and magnitude of change in SUDS significantly increased between sessions. Higher child self-reported pretreatment total Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC) score predicted greater change in SUDS within the first exposure session. Primary GAD diagnosis predicted less increase in change in SUDS between sessions. Conclusions: Results suggest that higher pretreatment total MASC scores are associated with increased first exposure within-session habituation. Additionally, youth with a principal diagnosis of GAD experienced less between-session habituation, perhaps because they may have required more imaginal than in-vivo exposures.

Abstract:
Stuttering, as a communication disorder, is a field of great interest, with many hypothesis regarding its nature and appropriate treatment. Many studies tried to emphasize the bond between stuttering and anxiety. Frequently, stuttering is associated with strong emotional reaction, as anxiety, emphasized by negative consequences of “not being able to talk accurately”. This turns in avoidance of speak and social problems as school difficulties.The aim of this study is anxiety evaluation in children with stuttering through specialized psychological intervention.We applied MASC (Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children) and CDI (Child Depression Inventory) to 20 children diagnosed with stuttering, aged 6–16, from Cluj -Napoca, both at the beginning and at the end of the study. Psychological intervention consisted of two evaluation sessions (one with the parent and one with the child) and ten group sessions (psychodrama and cognitive-behavioral techniques).The results showed a significant decrease of anxiety (p < 0.05), and no difference in depression symptoms (for statistical data we used SPSS 16.0 Program).

Abstract:
Despite the importance of anxiety measuring tools, there is no published data on the factor analytic structure of the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC) in South African adolescents. The present study was an attempt to examine the factor structure of the MASC in South African adolescents, the factor structure equivalence for boys and girls and the correlation between MASC scores and scores on the Child Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Child PTSD Checklist Score, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to establish whether the MASC distinguishes between anxiety and other constructs. Available literature indicates that the MASC is invariant across gender and age and it shows excellent internal reliability and test-retest reliability (March Parker, Sullivan, Stallings & Comers, 1997). The MASC appears to measure separate dimensions of anxiety, which in turn makes it ideally suited to discriminate patterns of anxiety in children with anxiety disorders (Rynn et al., 2005). The MASC also correlates well with other measures of anxiety (Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale [RCMAS] and Screen of Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders [SCARED]), less so with measures of depression (Children's Depression Inventory [CDI:]) and not at all with measures of disruptive behaviour (March et al., 1997; Muris, Merckelbach, Ollendick & King, 2002). Several studies across the world have confirmed the four-factor structure of the MASC and found its subscales to be reliable in several studies across the world (Olason, Sighvatsson & Smari, 2004; Rynn et al., 2005). A sample of 1078 grade 10 adolescents was selected to participate in this study. The adolescents were from nine different schools, representative of the socio-economic status and ethnic diversity of the region in the Cape Town metropole (South Africa). Principal Components Confirmatory Factor Analysis was conducted on MASC scores using a varimax rotation. Item bias analysis were used to determine gender equivalence and Pearson's correlation statistics were used to explore the correlation of MASC scores to CTQ, BDI, and Child PTSD Checklist scores. The results of the study confirm the MASC four-factor structure and its subscales were found to be reliable. The MASC performed the best out of four scales measuring anxiety or depression. Analysis showed that the four-factor structure applies equally well for males and females. Younger adolescents scored higher than older adolescents on the MASC total scale and no differences on the MASC total scale were found when comparisons of race were made. Item bias analysis showed no statistically or practically significant eta-squared (IJ') value, indicating no gender bias. In general, results in this sample show that the characteristics of the MASC are similar to the original factor structure found by March et al. (1997). The MASC appears to measure separate dimensions of anxiety, which in turn should make it ideally suited to discriminate patterns of anxiety in subgroups of children with anxiety disorders. It can be concluded that the MASC shows to be a valid and reliable measure of anxiety for South African adolescents. It can be recommended that the MASC is a clinically useful and reliable self-report scale for assessing anxiety in children and adolescents.

Introdução: Transtornos de ansiedade representam uma das mais comuns e debilitantes formas de psicopatologia na infância e adolescência. O desenvolvimento de instrumentos psicométricos voltados para a identificação de sintomas ansiosos precocemente pode se configurar em um interessante investimento na prevenção de prognósticos desfavoráveis ao longo do tempo. Objetivo: Avaliar o nível de ansiedade em crianças e adolescentes do Rio de Janeiro. Método: A escala MASC-VB foi aplicada juntamente com a escala RCMAS e o CDI em uma amostra composta por 317 sujeitos, com idades entre 8 e 16 anos, sendo 48 pacientes ambulatoriais e 269 estudantes, moradores da Rocinha e de outras localidades. Resultados: A escala mostrou características satisfatórias de consistência interna, validade discriminante, validade convergente e validade de critério. Os resultados apresentados são compatíveis com os obtidos no estudo de validação da escala no Brasil e com os estudos realizados com a versão original. Foram observados escores elevados de ansiedade em crianças e adolescentes moradores da Rocinha, compatíveis ou superiores aos encontrados na amostra de pacientes ambulatórias. Conclusão: A MASC é uma das escalas mais difundidas mundialmente para avaliar a presença de sintomas de ansiedade em crianças e adolescentes. Os dados obtidos com este estudo confirmam o bom desempenho psicométrico da escala para uso na população brasileira. Novos estudos se fazem necessários para melhor explicar os níveis elevados de ansiedade identificados na população geral, em especial na amostra extraída da Rocinha.
Anxiety disorders represent one of the most common and debilitating forms of psychopathology in children and adolescents. A way to prevent from a bad prognosis is to develop assessment tools that are able to identify the anxious phenomenon as soon as possible, at any time or culture. Objective: To evaluate the anxiety levels in children and adolescents from Rio de Janeiro. Method: Using a clinical sample of 48 outpatients and a community sample of 269 children and adolescent (8-16 years old) who lived in Rocinha and other localities, the MASC-BV and other psychometric tools were completed. Results: The MASCBV exhibited strong internal reliability, demonstrated good discriminative validity, good convergent validity and good criterion validity. The results are comparable to those presented in the validation study of the MASC in Brazil and to the first studies of the scale. As expected, high levels of anxiety symptoms were found in girls. Not expected, the higher scores in MASC-VB in the sample from Rocinha. Conclusion: The MASC is one of the most world-wide used scale to measure anxiety in children and adolescents. The results indicate good psychometric properties that shows it can be a useful measure to Brazilian population. New studies are necessary to better understand the high levels of anxiety in the community sample, specially in the Rocinha group.

Abstract:
The primary focus of this study was to examine the relationship between parent stress and child anxiety. In addition, differences in child anxiety by gender and ethnicity were explored. Finally, data were evaluated to determine differences in types of anxiety symptoms reported by children. Participants were 34 parent-child dyads from Morrison Child and Family Services in Portland, Oregon. Children (20 females, 14 males) ranged in age from 8 years to 12 years. The parent group (30 females, 4 males) included only biological parents or legal guardians, with 23 parents reporting a single-caregiver home. Results were not significant for correlations between parent stress or parent life stress and child anxiety or for differences in child anxiety by gender or ethnicity. Results did indicate that on the MASC, children reported significantly higher scores on the Harm Avoidance scale than any other index. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
