Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is an open trial to evaluate a web-based intervention. The intervention focuses on supporting parents to help their children to overcome problems with anxiety. The children who are the focus of the study are in the age ranges of 4 - 12 and experience problems with separation anxiety, social anxiety, or generalized anxiety as identified by their parents. The program will exclude obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder that are seen less often in this age group and require somewhat different interventions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Parents will be recruited for the study through stories in the media and notices sent through the schools to parents of school age children. The information will invite parents to contact the study staff if in their view their child is more anxious, fearful, shy or worried than most children of their age. Parents will be screened to insure that the child's problem is appropriate for the study. If the child and family are judged to be appropriate for the study they will be provided a user name and password to access a web-based program called Coaching for Confidence. In the first part of the program they review the consent form and decide if they wish to provide consent. If they provide consent they complete initial assessment measures describing their child and themselves. Once the assessment is completed they have access to the program through the internet. They are encouraged to complete the program over a period of 10 weeks. The program focuses on supporting the parent's understanding of child anxiety and the strategies they can take in helping their child to overcome limitations related to anxiety.
