Official title

Evaluating the Use of Theatre to Decrease Depression and Anxiety Among Adolescents With Chronic Medical Conditions (CMCs)

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Investigators are building a program that uses improvisation to teach kids and teens with medical issues healthy ways to cope. Medical issues have been linked to anxiety and depression. Doing theatre can prevent these complications. Participants will meet in groups of about ten for ten weeks to do improvisation that is fun and supportive. Participants will meet with a study team member before the program starts, after the program ends, six months after the program ends, and twelve months after the program ends. At these visits, participants will be screened for anxiety, depression, quality of life, and will be given a short interview.
