Many of the scales demonstrated weak psychometrics in at least one of the following ways: (a) lack of psychometric data [i.e., reliability and / or validity; e.g., HFQ, MASC, PBS, Social Adjustment Scale - Self - Report (SAS - SR) and all perceived self - esteem and self - concept scales], (b) items that fall on more than one subscale (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version), (c) low alpha coefficients (e.g., below.60) for some subscales, which calls into question the utility of using these subscales in research and clinical work (e.g., HFQ, MMPI - A, CBCL - 1991 version, BASC, PSPCSAYC), (d) high correlations between subscales (e.g., PANAS - C), (e) lack of clarity regarding clinically - relevant cut - off scores, yielding high false positive and false negative rates (e.g., CES - D, CDI) and an inability to distinguish between minor (i.e., subclinical) and major (i.e., clinical) «cases» of a disorder (e.g., depression; CDI, BDI), (f) lack of correspondence between items and DSM criteria (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version, CDI, BDI, CES - D, (g) a factor structure that lacks clarity
across studies (e.g., PSPCSAYC, CASI; although the factor structure is often difficult to assess in studies of pediatric populations, given the small sample sizes), (h) low inter-rater reliability for interview and observational methods (e.g., CGAS), (i) low correlations between respondents such as child, parent, teacher [e.g., BASC, PSPCSAYC, CSI, FSSC - R, SCARED, Connors Ratings Scales - Revised (CRS - R)-RSB-, (j) the inclusion of somatic or physical
symptom items on mental health subscales (e.g., CBCL), which is a problem when conducting studies of children with pediatric physical conditions because physical
symptoms may be a feature of the condition rather than an indicator of a mental health problem, (k) high correlations with measures of social desirability, which is particularly problematic for the self - related rating scales and for child - report scales more generally, and (l) content validity problems (e.g., the RCMAS is a measure of
anxiety, but contains items that tap mood, attention, peer interactions, and impulsivity).
There have been a number of psychometrically oriented studies using latent class analyses on several psychopathological outcomes, 20 — 22 for distinguishing different classes of psychopathological

Two studies have analysed cost effectiveness of CBT for severe health
anxiety delivered in a conventional face - to - face format compared with treatment as usual using data from randomised controlled trials.8, 9 In the first study, it was found that CBT but not the control condition reduced consumption of primary and secondary healthcare contacts, but total costs were unchanged in both conditions.8 In the second study, a large - scale randomised trial, the health economic analyses showed that there were no significant differences between the two treatment conditions.9 In both of the above studies, CBT was superior in reducing health
anxiety symptoms compared with treatment as usual, which means that as costs were similar
across groups, CBT is likely to be the more cost - effective treatment option.
Optimally, such a report would include several outcome measures assessing a wide array of functioning such as global functioning, target

across treatment.

anxiety symptom subtypes
across childhood and adolescence
Although we did not have strong a priori reasons to expect that the subdomains of externalizing
symptoms (e.g., delinquency, aggression) would differentially moderate the association of internalizing
symptoms with SU, we did consider potential unique effects of
anxiety and depression
symptoms (see Footnote 1), and there was little difference in our findings
across these
symptom clusters.
