Abstract
Results
Based on intent-to-treat analyses, no differences were found in response rates between groups with 50 and 42% of the children
in CBT, compared to 46 and 57% in UC no longer meeting criteria for an anxiety disorder at post-treatment and follow-up respectively.
Similar improvements in global functioning were also found in both treatment groups. Baseline predictors of a positive treatment
response included lower anxiety, fewer maladaptive thoughts, less exposure to urban hassles, and lower levels of parenting
stress. Therapist use of more CBT session structure elements and greater competence in implementing these elements was also
related to a positive treatment response.
