Deca i adolescenti koji su u sistemu socijalne zaštite, naročito deca u domskom smeštaju, predstavljaju vulnerabilnu populaciju sklonu mentalnim poremećajima. Zadatak ovog rada je da se procene anksiozni poremećaji dece i adolescenata u domskom smeštaju u okviru sistema socijalne zaštite. Studijom je obuhvaćeno 229 dece uzrasta od 8 do18 godina - 111 dece iz domskog smeštaja i 118 iz opšte populacije. Za procenu, otkrivanje i pretragu anksioznosti i anksioznih poremećaja primenjen je SCARED upitnik. Za obradu podataka korišćeni su deskriptivni statistički metod, Pirsonov x2-test i multivarijabilna regresiona analiza. Dobijeni podaci su statistički obrađeni, a rezultati pokazuju da su kod 41,4% dece i adolescenata iz domskog smeštaja postojali značajni anksiozni simptomi. Deca i adolescenti iz domskog smeštaja, u odnosu na kontrolnu grupu, imali su mnogo višu prevalenciju anksioznih simptoma. Multivarijabilna regresiona analiza je pokazala da deca iz domskog smeštaja imaju od 4 do 8 puta veći rizik da razviju neki od anksioznih simptoma u odnosu na adolescente u domskom smeštaju.
