dc.description.abstractBackground/aim: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the DSM-5 Generalized AnxietyDisorder Severity Scale - Child Form.Materials and methods: The study sample consisted of 32 patients treated in a child psychiatry unit and diagnosed with generalizedanxiety disorder and 98 healthy volunteers who were attending middle or high school during the study period. For the assessment,the Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) was also used along with the DSM-5 Generalized AnxietyDisorder Severity Scale - Child Form.Results: Regarding reliability analyses, the Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.932. The test–retestcorrelation coefficient was calculated as r = 0.707. As for construct validity, one factor that could explain 62.6% of the variance wasobtained and this was consistent with the original construct of the scale. As for concurrent validity, the scale showed a high correlationwith SCARED.Conclusion: It was concluded that Turkish version of the DSM-5 Generalized Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale - Child Form could beutilized as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes.
