Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?Investigation is designed to determine whether the gold standard for treating anxious youth is enhanced by teaching parents to become their anxious child's CBT coach. Children (7-17 years old) with either Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, or Separation Anxiety Disorder are treated with a combination of the Coping Cat Program and a parent-training intervention that is designed to teach the child's parents the same cognitive and behavioral skills that the child is learning and how to help their child to complete exposure activities. The research methods are parallel to those used in the CAMS study so that this data can be merged with that data set to evaluate the relative efficacy of the enhanced intervention.
