Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: CBIT-EExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
For those randomized to CBIT-E, treatment will be administered according to the standard CBIT manual, which includes psychoeducation, functional assessment/interventions, habit reversal training, relaxation techniques, and a motivational reward program. However, there will be two modifications. CBIT-E will include additional in-session and out of session practice of exercises, called competing response. Treatment will include a screening visit, baseline assessment, 11 weeks (9 sessions) of CBIT-E, a post treatment assessment, and a three-month follow up assessment. Further, starting after session 3, there will be four 15-minute practice periods scheduled each week between sessions. During these practice periods, the child and therapist will meet over Microsoft Teams and the therapist will administer an enhanced reward task.
Group II: Waitlist Control (WLC)Active Control1 Intervention
These participants will not receive treatment during the 11-week period. Instead, they will be placed on a waitlist to receive standard CBIT following the end of the study period. The final assessment will be approximately 11 weeks after baseline.
