Timeline
Interventions
The SLCBT condition consists of 3 main components: 1.) relaxation training, 2.) working with parent and child to modify family responses to illness and wellness behaviors, and 3.) cognitive restructuring to address and alter dysfunctional cognitions regarding symptoms and their implications for functioning through cognitive therapy techniques
The ES condition focuses on education about GI system anatomy and function, information about the United States Department of Agriculture nutrition guidelines, and additional food-related information such as how to read food product labels. The ES condition was developed to provide a credible alternative condition that would control for therapist and patient time and attention.
