Transitioning Emotionally and Academically to Middle School Successfully (TEAMSS)

The CGI-S score provides a global rating of anxiety severity ranging from 1= "not at all ill" to 7= "extremely ill".

The CGI-I provides a global rating of clinical improvement in anxiety (relative to baseline) ranging from 1= "very much improved" to 7= "very much worse." Scores of 1-2 are considered "responders."

A widely used 41 item measure of childhood anxiety. Informants respond to items using a 3-point Likert-type scale (0 = "not true or hardly ever true", 1 = "somewhat true or sometimes true", 2 = "very true or often true").

Considered the gold standard for assessing anxiety diagnosis and severity. Impairment ratings are generated for each disorder using the Clinician Severity Rating (CSR, range = 0-8; 4 or higher is required to assign a diagnosis).

A 27 item measure of anxiety-related interference in social, academic and family functioning. It is scored on a 4-point Likert scale, from 0= "not at all" to 3= "very much."

The SAS is a 16 item questionnaire of student anxiety, items are rated on a 3 point scale (0 = "never" to 3 = "always").

Assess grades, attendance, referrals for special education, grade retention and referrals for disciplinary actions (e.g., suspensions, detentions).

A 50 item questionnaire, scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "never" to "almost always" that assesses: Academic Skills (reading, mathematics, critical thinking) and Academic Enablers (Motivation, Engagement, Study Skills, Interpersonal Skills).

These subtests are a widely used, norm-referenced measure of academic achievement and cognitive abilities. Reading, math fluency and numbers reversed will be administered to measure cognitive factors (e.g., efficiency, speed, working memory) that are affected by anxiety.

A 40 item questionnaire of maladaptive thoughts associated with anxiety. Items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 0= "not at all" to 4= "all the time." To reduce burden, only the Physical and Social Threat subscale will be used.

A 3 item measure used in our ongoing studies, which assesses how frequently the student avoids specific anxiety provoking situations from 1 = "never" to 7 = "every time."

A 24 item measure of the child's somatic symptoms (headaches, stomach aches). Items are ranked using a 5 point scale ranging from "not at all" to "a whole lot."

A 40 item measure of parental over control and anxious rearing practices associated with higher anxiety. This scale consists of four subscales with 10 items each: overprotection/control, emotional warmth, rejection, and anxious rearing. For purposes of this study, only the overprotection/control and anxious rearing subscales will be used. Items are answered on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1= "no," to 4= "yes, most of the time."

A measure of accommodation. Parents respond to 9 items, which are coded on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 = "never" to 4 = "daily."

A 41 item parent, teacher and child measure of organization, planning and time-management. The COSS yields three subscale scores: task planning, organized actions and memory and materials management.

A measure to assess the student's overall improvement, as a result of participating in the intervention.

A widely used and psychometrically sound (alpha = .80) 25 item parent report questionnaire that assesses emotional and behavioral difficulties in children 4-17 years old. It yields a total score and five subscale scores: emotion problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer problems and prosocial.

The RCADS Depression subscale is comprised of 10 items. Youth respond to items using a 4-point Likert-type scale (0-3) to indicate the frequency of symptoms: 'never,' 'sometimes,' 'often,' and 'always.' Higher scores reflect greater frequency of depressive symptoms.

This measure will be modified from the PI's studies (Ginsburg et al., 2019a).

A 20-item measure assessing the use of general medical health, mental health, social service, and education services. Items are rated on a yes/no scale. The measure includes checkboxes for participants to indicate details about the services (e.g., frequency, indication, provider).
