Evidence-based assessment serves several critical functions in clinical child psychological science, including being a foundation for evidence-based treatment delivery. In this Evidence Base Update, we provide an evaluative review of the most widely used youth self-report measures assessing anxiety and its disorders. Guided by a set of evaluative criteria (De Los Reyes & Langer, 2018), we rate the measures as Excellent, Good, or Adequate across their psychometric properties (e.g., construct validity). For the eight measures evaluated, most ratings assigned were Good followed by Excellent, and the minority of ratings were Adequate. We view these results overall as positive and encouraging, as they show that these youth anxiety self-report measures can be used with relatively high confidence to accomplish key assessment functions. Recommendations and future directions for further advancements to the evidence base are discussed.

循证评估在临床儿童心理科学中发挥着多种关键作用，包括作为循证治疗的基础。在本证据基础更新中，我们对评估焦虑及其疾病的最广泛使用的青少年自我报告措施进行了评估性审查。在一组评估标准（De Los Reyes & Langer，2018）的指导下，我们将这些措施的心理测量属性（例如，结构效度）评为优秀、良好或足够。对于评估的八项指标，大多数评级为“良好”，其次是“优秀”，少数评级为“足够”。我们认为这些结果总体上是积极和令人鼓舞的，因为它们表明这些青少年焦虑自我报告措施可以相对较高的信心用于完成关键的评估功能。讨论了进一步推进证据基础的建议和未来方向。
