PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Weekly for 8 weeks

A standard measure of severity of anxiety over the previous week. The score ranges from a total of 0-25, with 0 being absence of symptoms and impairment, and 25 being marked symptoms and severe impairment. The outcome measure for each participant is the change in PARS, that is, the difference at week 8 compared to baseline (when medication-free).
