Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Change in linguistic interpretation bias as assessed by the word-sentence association paradigm for youth (WSAP-Y)
Change in self-reported interpretation bias as measured by the Children's Automatic Thoughts Scale (CATS)
Change in visual interpretation bias as assessed by the ambiguous faces task
Secondary outcome measures
Feasibility of CBM-I: Proportion of CBM-I trainings completed of 16 intended sessions.
Participant/Parent Acceptability Questionnaire (PAQ)

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Cognitive Bias Modification for Interpretations (CBM-I)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Computerized 16-session intervention aimed at reducing interpretation bias. In this study, CBM-I is personalized to youth anxiety symptoms. During CBM-I sessions, youth indicate whether word-sentence pairs are related, and are provided with feedback aimed to reduce bias.
Group II: Interpretation Control Condition (ICC)Placebo Group1 Intervention
Computerized 16-session intervention that is not believed to significantly modify bias. In this study, youth see stimuli personalized to their anxiety symptoms. During ICC sessions, youth see word-sentence pairs and are required to indicate whether word and sentence are related, but are not provided with feedback that aims to "train" a reduction in interpretation bias.
