Official title
Transitioning Emotionally and Academically to Middle School Successfully: Development of a Brief Intervention to Reduce Student Anxiety (TEAMSS)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Excessive anxiety is a common problem that severely impairs short and long term academic functioning. The transition to middle school (MS) results in increases in anxiety and decreases in academic functioning. Students with anxiety in particular, due to their vulnerability to school-based stressors, are at risk for social, emotional and academic failure during the transition to MS. Unfortunately, the majority of these students do not get identified. Reducing student anxiety has been associated with improvement in academic functioning. Because the transition to MS is inevitable, targeting students with excessive anxiety will help their adjustment to their new school setting, reducing the need for special education and mental health counseling. No interventions exist to help these students with this transition. This study aims to: (1) develop and assess the feasibility of a brief, multi-component intervention, referred to as TEAMSS, Transitioning Emotionally and Academically to Middle School Successfully, to reduce anxiety and improve academic functioning through the transition to MS using an iterative development process (i.e., expert review, two open trials, and small randomized controlled trial (RCT)); (2) conduct a pilot RCT comparing the preliminary impact of TEAMSS, relative to enhanced usual care (EUC), in improving students' social, behavioral, and academic functioning through the transition to MS; and (3) examine theory-based mediators, predictors, and moderators of TEAMSS and assess intervention costs.
