Objective screening methods that bypass self-report may improve early detection. Speech-derived acoustic markers have emerged as a promising avenue for identifying anxiety disorders. This study investigates associations between acoustic properties of speech, anxiety severity, and anxiety diagnoses in adolescents, evaluated cross-sectionally and longitudinally.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291725102274_sec2\" sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Speech samples from 581 adolescents were collected during the Trier Social Stress Test. Acoustic features were extracted using OpenSMILE and analyzed for cross-sectional associations with anxiety severity (Spearman\u2019s correlations) and longitudinal predictions of future anxiety (linear regressions). Random forest (RF) classifiers with 10-fold cross-validation were used to classify anxious and healthy individuals using acoustic features. Analyses were stratified by sex.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291725102274_sec3\" sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>RFs achieved the highest performance for the longitudinal classification of social anxiety disorder (SAD), with an AUC-ROC of 85% (males) and 74% (females). Adding acoustic features to baseline measures increased the variance explained in anxiety by 5.4% (males) and 10.9% (females). In males, higher anxiety was cross-sectionally correlated with reduced pitch slope, narrower pitch range, lower F1 frequency, and greater MFCC1 variability. Females with higher anxiety showed reduced variability in pitch slope. Correlations did not survive multiple testing correction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291725102274_sec4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Acoustic speech markers elicited in socially evaluative contexts can accurately recognize SAD in male adolescents three years in advance.
