Pediatric Anxiety Disorders: A Cost of Illness Analysis.

Few studies provide information about the clinical correlates of economic costs in pediatric anxiety disorders. This study uses baseline data from a randomized trial involving 209 children and adolescents with clinical anxiety to examine clinical and demographic correlates of direct and indirect costs. Measured costs included the direct costs of mental health services and the indirect costs resulting from children's missed school and parents' missed work.

School-Based Treatment for Anxiety Research Study (STARS): a Randomized Controlled Effectiveness Trial.

The current study compared the effectiveness of a school-clinician administered cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) to treatment as usual (TAU) at post-treatment (i.e., after 12 weeks) and at a 1 year follow-up.

A pilot RCT of a school nurse delivered intervention to reduce student anxiety.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and impact of brief school-nurse-administered interventions for reducing anxiety. Thirty school nurses in Connecticut and Maryland were randomly assigned to deliver the Child Anxiety Learning Modules (CALM; = 14) or CALM-Relaxation only (CALM-R; = 16). Students ( = 54) were ages 5-12 ( age = 8; 84.
