Differentiating Elderly Medical and Psychiatric Outpatients with the Beck Anxiety Inventory.

Steer, Robert A.; And Others

Assessment, v1 n4 p345-51 Dec 1994

To determine whether self-reported anxious symptoms differentiated elderly medical and psychiatric outpatients, the Beck Anxiety Inventory was administered to 45 medical outpatients and 117 psychiatric inpatients. Only two symptoms, fear of the worst happening and unsteady, contributed unique variance to the differentiation of the two groups. (SLD)
