These brief adaptations of the SCAS were published in 2018 by Tessa Reardon et al. (see publication details below). Detailed information about the sample and the extraction of the scales can be found in:
Reardon, T., Spence, S. H., Hesse, J., Shakir, A., & Creswell, C. (2018). Identifying children with anxiety disorders using brief versions of the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale for children, parents, and teachers. Psychological Assessment, 30(10), 1342-1355. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/pas0000570
The publication reports the Means and Standard Deviations obtained from a community (n=361) and a clinic-referred sample (n=338) of children aged 7-11, together with optimal cut-off scores for the brief versions of the SCAS.
