D.  Recent family studies have found anxiety disorders to be elevated in children of parents with anxiety disorders or mixed anxiety-depression, with social phobia, and with agora-phobia.
E.  Lesure-Lester’s results showed that individuals who were competent about dating tended to be less socially anxious and more assertive in social situations. She speculated that perhaps lower levels of social anxiety contributed to the individual's competence about social situations while simultaneously reducing his or her anxiety about dating.
F.  School-based interventions using cognitive techniques with parental involvement have been found to reduce "anxiety problems," and prevent the onset of new anxiety disorders in randomized trials.

I.  Separation anxiety is relabeled separation anxiety disorder if the fear of being apart from parents lasts for more than a month or persists in an older child and creates serious problems for the child or the family.
J.  Owens’ study showed that general anxiety was found to be lower among men over 60 than among younger men.

L.  The MAD (mixed anxiety disorder) diagnostic group had the highest family disability score.
