Development of a cognitive bias modification intervention for anxiety disorders in primary care.

Objectives: There is a great need for low-intensity, scalable treatments in primary care, where most anxious patients first present for treatment. We describe Stage IA treatment development and a Stage IB feasibility trial of cognitive bias modification (CBM) for transdiagnostic anxiety in primary care.

Methods: The online intervention, Mental Habits, comprised eight sessions of a personalized CBM targeting attention and interpretation biases.
