Social Anxiety
http://www.anxietyhelp.org/information/leibowitz.htmlLSAS Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale
The Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale is a clinician-administered (interview) scale to evaluate the wide range of social situations within the last 7 days that are typically difficult for individuals with social phobia. The LSAS includes 24 items, 13 describing performance situations and 11 items describing social interaction situations. Each item is rated for fear (0 to 3 = none, mild, moderate, severe) and avoidance (0 to 3 = never, occasionally, often, usually). Thus, the LSAS provides an overall social anxiety severity rating, and scores on 4 subscales: 1) performance fear, 2) performance avoidance, 3) social fear, and 4) social avoidance. Total scores for fear and avoidance as well as total LSAS scores are achieved by summing of the scores.
It's widely used as an outcome measure in clinical trials.
