Scoring & interpretation
Each item is rated on a Likert-type scale from 0 to 3. Raw scores are calculated for each subscale, then converted into standardized scores according to age and sex. High scores indicate a greater presence of anxiety symptoms. Scores are interpreted according to clinical cutoffs to determine the severity of anxiety.
