Abstract:Recognizing that researchers and clinicians are increasingly faced with assessing, treating, and studying ethnically, racially, and culturally diverse populations, one question is whether the appropriate tools exist. This special section aspires to advance the available assessment strategies that are appropriate for the treatment, prevention, and research of diverse children and adolescents with anxiety symptoms and disorders. This introduction presents an overview of anxiety and its disorders among multiethnic youth and identifies emerging challenges and opportunities in the assessment and treatment of anxiety symptoms and disorders among Asian American and Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, African American, and European American children and adolescents within a sociocultural context.
