Child STEPS
Child STEPs includes (1) a treatment protocol, Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma or Conduct Problems (MATCH-ADTC;Chorpita \& Weisz, 2009), and (2) a youth monitoring and feedback system (MFS).
Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Conduct Problems
MATCH-ADTC (Chorpita \& Weisz, 2009) is designed for children aged 6-15. Unlike most evidence-based treatments (EBTs), which focus on single disorder categories (e.g., anxiety only), MATCH is designed for multiple disorders and problems encompassing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and disruptive conduct, including the conduct problems associated with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). MATCH is composed of 33 modules-i.e., specific treatment procedures derived from decades of research on EBTs. The various modules can be organized and sequenced flexibly to tailor treatment to each child's characteristics and needs.
Monitoring and Feedback System
For each child, the web-based MFS system provides weekly monitoring of the MATCH modules used and the child's treatment response, in two forms (a) changes on the Behavior and Feelings Survey and (b) changes in severity of the top treatment concerns identified by youths and caregivers. At the end of treatment, the MFS provides a complete record of modules used, and child treatment response, across all the weeks of treatment.
Usual Care
Treatment in the UC condition will use the procedures therapists and their supervisors consider appropriate and believe to be effective, and researchers will not influence their work.
Treatment as usual
Treatment in the UC condition will use the procedures therapists (e.g., school counselors) and their supervisors consider appropriate and believe to be effective.
