Notes: GADQ-IV = Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire for DSM-IV; PSWQ = Penn State Worry Questionnaire; PSWQ-A = Penn State Worry Questionnaire Abbreviated Version; BAI = Beck Anxiety Inventory; BMWS = Brief Measure of Worry Severity; GADSS = Generalized Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale; GWS = geriatric worry scale; GAI = Geriatric Anxiety Inventory. Sample size for mean, standard deviation, and alpha for measures is n = 66, with the exception of the GAI, which is n = 35. Sample size for test–retest reliability is n = 16, with the exception of the GAI, which is n = 4. Sample size for interrater reliability is n = 16, with the exception of the GAI, which is n = 7.
