Psychometric Properties of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD‐7) in Older Adults With Advanced Cancer
Establishing the psychometric properties of anxiety screening measures is crucial in the older adults with cancer to maximize referral efficiency and accuracy. This study indicates that the GAD-7 is reliable and valid for older adults with cancer. Analyses suggest the GAD-2 may be as sufficient as the GAD-7 in identifying anxiety in older adults with cancer, thereby reducing assessment burden.
