Construct validity of the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale for clients with anxiety disorder.

Robert C Schwartz1, Timia Del Prete-Brown.   

Abstract

The Global Assessment of Functioning Scale is a widely used although poorly researched measurement of overall mental health or illness. This study investigated construct validity for clients with anxiety disorder. Analysis suggests that current suicidality was the most significant predictor of ratings. Current homicidality, work/school problems, and inability to care for oneself were not significantly correlated with scale ratings.
