Abstract Objective: This study shows the psychometric characteristics and factor structure of the Spanish adaptation to a clinical population of an instrument for measuring anxious worry, the Anxious Thought Inventory (AnTI).\n Method: Participants were 731 adults treated at a community mental Health Center in Spain with different clinical diagnoses.\n Results: The adaptation of the AnTI scale to the Spanish clinical population confirms the three original dimensions, social worry, health worry and meta-worry, with adequate fit. High internal consistency (from .83 to .86) was found for the three subscales, and test-retest reliability after a period of 8-10 weeks was high (r= .71). Furthermore, significant correlations were found with other worry, anxiety and general psychopathology scales.\n Conclusions: This Spanish adaptation of the AnTI in a clinical population is a reliable, valid measure of anxious worry. Therefore, it is a useful instrument for use in care contexts. (C) 2020 Sociedad Espanola para el Estudio de la Ansiedad y el Estres - SEAS. Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U. All rights reserved.
