Study Summary

The aim of this study was to develop and pilot a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) parent-child intervention for 4-7-year-old children at risk for anxiety disorders. The 20-session intervention was first piloted openly in 9 children (between 3/10/98 and 1/1/2001). The intervention was then tested in 65 children in a randomized controlled trial versus a monitoring-only wait-list control condition. Children had to either have an anxiety disorder, behavioral inhibition, or be the offspring of a parent with an anxiety disorder who had elevated symptoms of anxiety. In practice all children but one had at least one anxiety disorder at baseline. Children were blocked on presence or absence of parental anxiety disorder and randomized to the intervention or to a no-intervention wait-list control group. The intervention consisted of 6 parent-only sessions, 8-13 child-parent sessions, and a final parent session. Post-trial assessments were conducted at six months, and at one-year follow-up. The hypotheses were that the children assigned to the intervention group would show significantly better improvement (measured via Clinician Global Impression-Anxiety Improvement scale and absence of anxiety disorders) than children assigned to the wait-list condition.

Primary Outcome

Clinicians blind to treatment assignment rated the child's global improvement on anxiety, using the Clinician Global Impression-Anxiety Improvement scale (CGI-Anxiety, best value 1, worst value 7). Responders were considered those with "very much" or "much" improvement (CGI-Anxiety scores of 1 or 2)
