Brief Summary

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

This goal of this study is to evaluate an intensive group behavioral treatment (IGBT) program for children with selective mutism, a low base-rate childhood anxiety disorder. 29 children between the ages of 5 and 9 will be randomly assigned to participate in a 5-day IGBT over the summer or to a waitlist control condition, with the opportunity to participate in IGBT 4 weeks later. All children that participate in treatment will be followed up 8 weeks into the following school year.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Families of children with selective mutism will be randomly assigned to receive either immediate intensive group behavioral treatment (IGBT) or to a waitlist with psychoeducational materials, and then IGBT.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

"Independent evaluators" assigned to assess outcomes will be masked to whether or not families participated in IGBT or were at the end of their waitlist period.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment

The treatment consists of a 5-day intensive group behavioral treatment program (IGBT)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Intensive Group Behavioral Treatment (IGBT)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

IGBT is a 5-day intensive treatment program, where cognitive behavioral therapy is provided to children and their parents delivered over 6-8 hours per day over the course of 5 days.

Waitlist

The waitlist consists of a 4-week waitlist period where parents will be provided with psychoeducational materials about their child's condition (i.e., selective mutism). After the 4-week waitlist period, families will be provided with the opportunity to participate in IGBT.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
