Brief Summary

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

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Cool Kids programme after implementation in two outpatient psychiatric clinics for children in Southern Jutland, Denmark. The Cool Kids programme is a manualised cognitive behavioural treatment programme for children aged 6 to 12 years with anxiety disorders. Previous efficacy studies have found that 60-80% of all children who complete the program show marked improvement. However, only one previous effectiveness study has ever been conducted. It is therefore relevant to examine whether the previously mentioned effect is maintained when the programme is implemented in a healthcare setting rather than a research setting.

Detailed Description

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

The study was conducted at two outpatient psychiatric clinics for children in Southern Jutland, Denmark.

Data was gathered from 55 patients who completed the Cool Kids programme as a treatment for anxiety disorder(s) from autumn 2013 to spring 2016. During the course of treatment both children and parents completed the Child Anxiety Life Interference Scale (CALIS) at baseline, post-treatment and at a 3-months follow-up booster-session. This data was originally gathered for internal quality assessment at the clinics. As the data was utilized for the present study in 2017, it has not been possible to control for confounding factors or influence the data-collection process.

All questionnaires were anonymised previous to being manually scored and keyed for secured electronic storage. Participants were excluded from the data analysis if they had one or more incomplete or missing CALIS. All statistical analysis was carried out in IBM SPSS 24 Statistical Software and consists of linear mixed effect models and one-way repeated measures ANOVAs.
