Description of Instruments

Three instruments enabled development of this database. The Spence Children Anxiety Scale (SCAS) was utilized to determine anxiety levels of children (Orgiles et al., 2016). The instrument consists of forty-four items with the following levels each.

0) Never

1) Sometimes

2) Often

3) Always.

Addiction severity index (ASI) was also utilized to determine drug abuse for elderly people (McLellan et al., 1997). The items used run from D1 – D13. The scores were in five levels.

0) Not at all

1) Slightly

2) Moderately

3) Considerably

4) Extremely

A 10-panel urine test was also conducted for the elderly prior to self-report (McLellan et al., 1992). The items of test were cannabis, Amphetamines, Cocaine, Benzodiazepines, Opioids, Barbiturates, Phencyclidine, Quaaludes, Propoxyphene and Methadone.
