The RCADS was originally a 47 item self-report scale for young people aged 8 to 18 with five subscales: separation anxiety disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and low mood (major depressive disorder) and a parallel questionnaire for parents/guardians (RCADS-P).

There is also a 25 item short form and an 11 item “screening” version (which sounds like a bad idea to me: none of our measures has the necessary screening characteristics to work well screening for psychological problems likely to benefit, cost-effectively, from offers of interventions. With reasonable conditions, the RCADS is licensed for use without reproduction fees (hooray!) and there are fair number of translations and some referential data.
There is a good page about the RCADS at CORC and an extensive set of pages at https://rcads.ucla.edu/.
