Timeline
Interventions
Those who choose to participate will be enrolled in the 14 week study (18 weeks for phase II). They will required to attend 3 assessments - pre-treatment (week 0), mid-treatment (week 8), and post-treatment (week 14) (and a 4th assessment for a 1 month Follow-up for Phase II at week 18). This group will follow the CCBT protocol (Camp Cope-A-lot), which is the computer-assisted intervention for anxious children being examined in this study. The first 6 levels of this program are skill building levels to be completed by the user in his/her own home. The remaining 6 levels are completed with the therapist and consist of exposure tasks and rehearsal geared toward each child.
