Manualised Cognitive Behavioral Therapy of Anxiety Disorders in Children and Adolescents in Routine Care Setting

February 28, 2014 updated by: Prof. Dr. Silvia Schneider, Ruhr University of Bochum

Manualised Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children and adolescents with anxiety disorders is evaluated in a routine care setting to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention. Children and adolescents receive manualized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety disorder.

It is expected, that the intervention will result in less anxiety / lower scores on the primary and secondary outcome measures.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Severity rating of diagnosis (according to the Kinder-DIPS)
Time Frame: Changes in severity rating from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
Changes in severity rating from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS)
Time Frame: Changes on the SCAS from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
Changes on the SCAS from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
Clinical Global Improvement Impression (CGI-I)
Time Frame: Changes on the CGI-I from post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
Changes on the CGI-I from post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
Interference rating as assessed by the "Beurteilung der Beeinträchtigung/ Einschränkung des Patienten" (BEE)
Time Frame: Changes in interference rating from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
The German questionnaire "Beurteilung der Beeinträchtigung/ Einschränkung des Patienten" (BEE) assesses the degree of interference.
Changes in interference rating from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Depression as measured by the Short Moods and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ)
Time Frame: Changes in the SMFQ from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
Changes in the SMFQ from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)
Time Frame: Changes on the SDQ from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
Changes on the SDQ from pre- to post-assessment (post-assessment takes place 30 weeks after the pre-assessment on average) and to 6-month-follow-up (which takes place about 6 months after the post-assessment)
