The SADS-LA demonstrates good to excellent test-retest reliability for most anxiety disorders, though simple phobia shows poor agreement.
Salvatore Mannuzza (1989) conducted an observational in Anxiety disorders (n=104). Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Lifetime Anxiety version was evaluated on Test-retest reliability of lifetime anxiety disorder diagnoses (kappa +0.60 to +0.90). The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Lifetime Anxiety version demonstrated good to excellent test-retest reliability (kappa = +0.60 to +0.90) for most anxiety disorders.
