Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates whether different youth anxiety measures (PARS, MASC, SCARED) consistently assess the same construct over time during treatment, and finds that some measures are more reliable than others.
  • Longitudinal measurement invariance (LMI) was used to determine if these tests accurately track changes in anxiety symptoms, with some scales like PARS showing strong consistency, while others had issues.
  • Results suggest that while some anxiety measures can reliably monitor treatment progress, others may be influenced by changes in how the questions function over time, which could affect interpretation of symptom improvements.]
