Project Description:
Anxiety disorders affect as many as 1 in 5 youth and contribute to problems in social and academic functioning, as well as the development of chronic depression and substance abuse in adolescence and adulthood. This study develops a mobile health intervention that has the potential to make psychosocial treatments for child anxiety disorders more personalized, interactive, and efficacious. The refinement of mobile technologies to support skills practice and patient-therapist engagement also has wider relevance to improving care delivery and reducing healthcare costs for other child psychiatric disorders and a broad array of chronic conditions across the lifespan.
