Brief Summary

Although anxiety is one of the most common and debilitating mental health conditions affecting children and adolescents, the vast majority of sufferers do not receive effective treatment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based, frontline treatment for pediatric anxiety, yet many community-based practitioners do not implement CBT with high fidelity, which can detrimentally affect its clinical impact. The goal of this study is to develop and test an online platform to support community providers' effective use of CBT for pediatric anxiety.
