Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Maternal Interpretation Biases on Child Anxiety and Related Responses (NCT NCT02095340)

NCT ID: NCT02095340

Last Updated: 2020-02-27

Results Overview

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Participants will be assessed, on average, within 20 minutes after the intervention.

Population: Data for one participant in the positive training condition and two participants in the neutral training condition was lost due to equipment malfunction.

Proportion of threatening (versus nonthreatening) interpretations made on the Word Sentence Association Paradigm (WSAP). Scores range from 0 to 1. Higher scores mean a worse outcome, that is, more negative interpretations.
