The absolute difference of the item ratings is totaled and the scores are above the cutoff, the ratings are marked as potentially inconsistent. The self-report cutoff of the scores should be chosen in a way that less than 5% of the normative score sampling was rated as potentially inconsistent [47]. The MASC 2 appraises the probability of the incidence of any one of the anxiety symptoms based upon the profile of the elevations on the MASC 2

Introduction Throughout the human life, many events will occur that cause individuals to experience the feelings associated with anxiety. Examples of these events that can cause individuals to experience anxiety are public speaking engagements, eating in restaurants, and using public restrooms (Sands & Gellis, 2012). The diagnosis of anxiety is sustained when the emotion is experienced with significant frequency and intensity, when the psychosocial functioning of the individual is impeded, and when the reaction is not conducive with the stimulus (Sands & Gellis, 2012). In addition, a significant amount of individuals who are diagnosed with anxiety disorders face the challenges of maintaining employment, or becoming active participants within their communities because of tremendous distress.

Questionnaires are completed to assess for baseline symptoms, thoughts, and behaviors at the beginning, mid-point, and end of group. Anecdotal information and surveys play a large role in understanding what is and is not working with SPARCS. This information is gathered from students, parents/guardians, and school staff throughout SPARCS groups. Following up with caregivers and youths to see how they are functioning after the treatment intervention is also important. This can give providers a sense of how well youths retain the concepts of SPARCS.

Children and Families I chose culturally adapted cognitive behavioral therapy for childhood anxiety disorders as a topic for my competency assignment for Children and Families class. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses experienced by children and adolescents, and untreated anxiety symptoms can develop into various disorders, significantly affecting children’s cognitive, behavioral, and somatic functioning. Although childhood anxiety disorders are highly prevalent, they often remain understudied and undertreated. In addition, culturally sensitive assessment measures for these type of disorders are also needed because the assessment of anxiety needs to take place within a cultural context.

Specifically, youths produced significant changes on subscales measuring conduct problems, inattention/hyperactivity, somatic complaints, high-risk behaviors, and interpersonal relationships (Weiner, Schneider, & Lyons, 2009). Encouraging results were also found in an EBP Pilot Program conducted by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services in conjunction with The Mental Health Services and Policy Program at Northwestern University. The study found that adolescents in foster care receiving SPARCS were half as likely to run away, and one-fourth less likely to experience placement interruptions compared to a standard of care group. Youths displayed significant improvements in intrapersonal distress, somatic symptoms, interpersonal relations, social problems, and behavioral dysfunction in Youth Outcome Questionnaire (YOQ) scores. In the UCLA PTSD Reaction Index score, adolescents showed a significant reduction in PTSD symptoms such as re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyper-arousal post intervention (Northwestern University,

A strong positive correlation of greater than 0.7 (Francis, 2013) between the two scales for each item will show high convergent validity (Andreassen, Torsheim, Brunborg, & Pallesen, 2012). To test discriminant validity, researchers will assess this through the low correlation between the FLS and the UCLA loneliness scale (Tharayil, 2012). To test criterion-related validity, researchers will run a factorial analysis. Records with any missing data will be excluded. The items retained will have the highest correlation of the sum of ratings (Andreassen, Torsheim, Brunborg, & Pallesen,

Inter-rater reliability between the original interviewer and a second interviewer (reviewing the video-taped interview) ranged from 0.47 to 0.49 for the four aspects of self (identity, self-direction) and interpersonal (empathy, intimacy) impairment. They also found that the LPFS correlated with anxiety, depression, several personality disorder criteria, and were positively correlated (rs between .29 and .69) with the Criterion B measure of pathological personality traits (Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5); APA, 2013). However, they also found that DSM-IV PDs were not incrementally associated with the LPFS once pathological traits (Criterion B) were included in the
