Replication analysis of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale: Journal of Psychiatry and Neurological Sciences

ABSTRACT

As fear and anxiety rates increase during the COVID-19 crisis, the need to study and screen and treat vulnerable populations is vitally important. Accordingly, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, a mental health screener of coronaphobia, has been created to aid this effort. The results of a replication analysis reported here support the diagnostic and psychometric properties of this pandemic-related mental health screener. Considerations of this scale's use are also discussed.
