Active Control

Group I: Web-based CBTActive Control1 Intervention

The online, multimedia suite of Cool Kids CBT web-based programs for youth anxiety is a supported, largely self-administered online digital cognitive-behavioral therapy anxiety management intervention, with adjunctive therapist phone support. Treatment content runs directly parallel to that included in the therapist-led Cool Kids face-to-face suite of interventions. The online suite of interventions is comprised of two developmentally tailored programs, depending on the age of the child.

Group II: Face-to-Face CBTActive Control1 Intervention

The Cool Kids suite of face-to-face (office-based or telehealth) CBT-based programs for youth anxiety is a well-supported therapist-led, clinic-based anxiety management intervention. The face-to-face cognitive-behavioral therapy treatment content runs directly parallel to that included in the Cool Kids online suite of interventions. The face-to-face suite of interventions is comprised of two developmentally tailored programs, depending on the age of the child.
