青少年焦虑量表DSM-5（YAM-5）是一种新的自我和家长报告问卷，用于评估儿童和青少年的焦虑症症状。儿童焦虑研究人员和临床医生的国际小组被用来构建一个由两部分组成的量表：第一部分由28个项目组成，测量主要的焦虑症，包括分离焦虑症、选择性缄默症、社交焦虑症、恐慌症和广泛性焦虑症，而第二部分包含22个项目，重点是具体的恐惧症和（鉴于其与情景恐惧症的重叠）广场恐惧症。总的来说，新量表的表面效度是好的，它的大部分项目成功地与预期的焦虑症。值得注意的例外是选择性缄默症项目，这是经常被认为是社交焦虑症的症状，和一些特定的恐惧症项目，特别是自然环境，情境和其他类型，这是经常分配到一个不正确的类别。在非临床（N = 132）和临床转诊（N = 64）儿童和青少年中对YAM-5进行的初步调查表明，青少年很容易完成该措施。此外，支持的心理测量质量的措施：即，内部一致性是好的两个部分，以及大多数分量表，亲子协议出现令人满意的，也有证据的规模的有效性。YAM-5有望成为评估儿童和青少年焦虑症症状的工具。
The Youth Anxiety Measure for DSM-5 (YAM-5) is a new self- and parent-report questionnaire to assess anxiety disorder symptoms in children and adolescents in terms of the contemporary classification system. International panels of childhood anxiety researchers and clinicians were used to construct a scale consisting of two parts: part one consists of 28 items and measures the major anxiety disorders including separation anxiety disorder, selective mutism, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder, whereas part two contains 22 items that focus on specific phobias and (given its overlap with situational phobias) agoraphobia. In general, the face validity of the new scale was good; most of its items were successfully linked to the intended anxiety disorders. Notable exceptions were the selective mutism items, which were frequently considered as symptoms of social anxiety disorder, and some specific phobia items especially of the natural environment, situational and other type, that were regularly assigned to an incorrect category. A preliminary investigation of the YAM-5 in non-clinical (N = 132) and clinically referred (N = 64) children and adolescents indicated that the measure was easy to complete by youngsters. In addition, support was found for the psychometric qualities of the measure: that is, the internal consistency was good for both parts, as well as for most of the subscales, the parent–child agreement appeared satisfactory, and there was also evidence for the validity of the scale. The YAM-5 holds promise as a tool for assessing anxiety disorder symptoms in children and adolescents.
