“…The results regarding the internal structure of the OASIS and the ODSIS, as obtained with the CFA, are consistent with other studies and indicate that a one-factor structure for the five items has an optimal fit (Bentley et al, 2014;Bragdon et al, 2016;Campbell-Sills et al, 2008;Hermans et al, 2014;Ito et al, 2014;Ito et al, 2014;Moore et al, 2015;Norman et al, 2013;Norman et al, 2011;Norman et al, 2006).The present study revealed that the influence of the covariance between Items 1 and 2 has to be taken into account when exploring the internal structure of the OASIS and the ODSIS, as noted in previous similar studies (Campbell-Sills et al, 2009). As revealed in the present…”

“…An online version of this measure has also been recently been validated into Spanish in a sample of individuals with milder depression and anxiety (González-Robles et al, 2018). A single-factor model including all items has been replicated across investigations (Bragdon et al, 2016;Campbell-Sills et al, 2009;González-Robles et al, 2018;Hermans et al, 2014;Ito et al, 2014;Moore et al, 2015;Norman et al, 2013;Norman et al, 2011;Norman et al, 2006) and a good internal consistency (i.e., between .80 and .94) has been reported (Hermans et al, 2014;Ito et al, 2014;Norman et al, 2006).…”

“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in Spain alone, anxiety and depressive disorders affect nearly 2 million and 2.5 million people, respectively, which amount to up to 5.2% of the population in the country (WHO, 2017). Not surprisingly, EDs are largely prevalent in primary care and specialized mental health settings in Spain (Gutiérrez-Fraile et al, 2011;Muñoz-Navarro et al, 2017;Ruiz-Rodríguez et al, 2017). The present study aims at adapting two short screening tools for anxiety and depressive symptoms to be used in Spanish public care.…”

HighlightsThis is the first study to explore the psychometric properties of the OASIS and ODSIS, screening tools for anxiety and mood disorders, in a Spanish sample of patients diagnosed with emotional disorders in a specialized mental health setting. The OASIS and ODSIS are easily administered screening tools with an excellent internal consistency, favorable convergent and discriminant validity, and good sensitivity to therapeutic change. A cut-off point of 10 for both instruments results in the best rate of correct clinical/nonclinical classifications. The Spanish adaptations of the OASIS and the ODSIS demonstrated their cross-cultural utility. The OASIS and ODSIS should make screening of anxiety and depressive symptoms in public health settings more feasible and could facilitate adequate referrals and routine evaluation. AbstractBackground: Anxiety and depressive disorders are the most frequent disorders for which patients seek care in public health settings in Spain. This study aimed at validating the Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (OASIS) and the Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS), which are brief screening scales for anxiety and depression consisting of only five items each.Methods: The study was conducted in a Spanish clinical sample receiving outpatient mental health treatment (N = 339). A subsample of participants (n = 219) was assessed before and after receiving a course of cognitivebehavioral treatment.Results: The results revealed excellent internal consistency estimates (Cronbach's alpha for the OASIS and the ODSIS was .87 and .94, respectively), along with promising convergent and discriminant validity and testcriterion relationships (i.e., moderate correlation with other measures of depression and anxiety, as well as with neuroticism, quality of life, adjustment, and negative affect). A one-dimensional structure was obtained for the OASIS and the ODSIS. The ROC analyses indicated an area under the curve of .83 for the OASIS and the ODSIS when predicting moderate-to-severe anxiety and depression, respectively. Good sensitivity to therapeutic change was also evidence and the analysis of the sensitivity as a function of 1-specificity area suggested a cutoff value of 10 for both scales.Limitations: Inter-rater reliability of diagnoses with the ADIS-IV interview could not be investigated and the results obtained may not be generalizable to other samples and health settings.Conclusions: The availability of these two short and psychometrically sound measures should make screening of anxiety and depressive symptoms in routine care more feasible.

The early months of the COVID-19 pandemic saw significant increases in symptoms of anxiety and depression, particularly among college students. However, research has not examined how internalizing symptoms in this population have changed as the pandemic has continued into its second year. Further, there has yet to be an examination of potential changes in transdiagnostic vulnerability factors. Therefore, the purpose of the current repeated cross-sectional study was to examine differences by term in undergraduates’ symptoms of depression, anxiety, worry, social anxiety, and anxiety sensitivity in the Spring 2020 ( n = 251), Fall 2020 ( n = 427), and Spring 2021 ( n = 256) semesters. Results indicated that there were significant increases in depression, anxiety, worry, and anxiety sensitivity from Spring 2020 to Fall 2020 that were maintained through the Spring 2021 semester, and levels of social anxiety were significantly higher in Spring 2021 compared to Spring 2020. These findings suggest that the mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on college students have continued beyond the initial months, and colleges and universities will need to develop comprehensive plans to adequately address college students’ mental health needs.
