Each item from the HAS was significantly correlated with severity, and those items with the highest correlations were combined to form new anxiety scales. These scales were then used on a new group of 27 patients suffering from anxiety neurosis. All the new scales had better correlations with severity than the full HAS. The six-item scale was selected as being the most suitable to be a new Clinical Anxiety Scale. TI - The Clinical Anxiety Scale: an instrument derived from the Hamilton Anxiety Scale.
