dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the DSM-5 Severity Measure for Agoraphobia-Child Age 11-17. Method: Study group consisted of 36 patients, who have been treated in a child psychiatry unit and diagnosed with agoraphobia, and 100 healthy volunteers who have been secondary and highschool students. For the assessment, the Screen for Childhood Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders ( SCARED) was used along with the DSM-5 Severity Measure for Agoraphobia- Child Age 11-17. Results: Regarding reliability analyses, Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.929. Test-retest correlation coefficient was 0.566. For concurrent validity, the measure showed a high correlation with the SCARED. In ROC analysis, area under ROC curve was calculated as 0.934. Conclusion: It was concluded that Turkish version of the DSM-5 Severity Measure for Agoraphobia-Child Age 11-17 could be used as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes.
