Official title
A Single-Session Intervention for Families on Waitlists for Child Anxiety
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Lengthy wait times to access treatment for youth anxiety disorders is a critical issue. To help address this issue, investigators will pursue the following aims in N = 65 families on waitlists for outpatient youth anxiety psychosocial treatment. Aim 1 Pilot Phase: Develop and pilot a single session intervention (SSI) tailored for families on waitlists for outpatient psychosocial treatment for youth anxiety disorders. Investigators will pilot the single session intervention (SSI) with N = 5 families and use cognitive response interviewing to obtain data from parents and children, ensuring the content is understandable and accessible. The SSI will include psychoeducation on the cognitive behavioral conceptualization of anxiety, introduction to self-regulation strategies to manage physiological manifestations of anxiety, and cognitive restructuring of anxiogenic thoughts. The SSI will also involve parents and present strategies on how parents can support their children in managing anxious feelings and thoughts. Investigators will refine the SSI based on these data. Following the Pilot Phase, investigators will enroll an additional N = 60 families and randomize them to either the SSI (n = 30) or waitlist control (n = 30). Aim 2 Test Phase Acceptability, and Satisfaction: Examine acceptability of the refined SSI, as well as satisfaction with the SSI. Investigators hypothesize that users will find the module to be acceptable and will report high satisfaction. Aim 3 Test Phase Anxiety Outcomes: Demonstrate reductions in youth anxiety symptom severity. Investigators hypothesize that anxiety symptom severity and impairment will be significantly lower among youth who receive the refined SSI relative to youth on waitlist control. The main risk or discomfort from this research is that participants might feel uncomfortable answering questions about their behavior and feelings. Another possible risk is breach of confidentiality that could identify a participant as having elevated levels of anxiety. The benefits of this SSI would include increasing accessibility and scalability of treatment for youth anxiety disorders. Overall, this study will provide critically needed data to advance resource efficient treatment options for youth anxiety disorders.
