“…28 Separation anxiety disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder were assessed. To screen positive for an anxiety disorder, children needed to meet symptom criteria and be experiencing significant impairment (rating of $4 of 8).…”

et al. 2014

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Up to 50% of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) meet criteria for a comorbid anxiety disorder. Despite the high prevalence of anxiety in these children, the impact of anxiety on the lives of children with ADHD has been largely overlooked.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Presence of $2 anxiety comorbidities in children with ADHD was associated with poorer child quality of life, daily functioning, and behavior. Multiple anxiety comorbidities were associated with poorer functioning for children with both ADHD-Inattentive and ADHD-Combined presentation. abstract OBJECTIVES: Although anxiety is common in children with attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), it is unclear how anxiety influences the lives of these children. This study examined the association between anxiety comorbidities and functioning by comparing children with ADHD and no, 1, or $2 anxiety comorbidities. Differential associations were examined by current ADHD presentation (subtype). METHODS:Children with diagnostically confirmed ADHD (N = 392; 5-13 years) were recruited via 21 pediatrician practices across Victoria, Australia. Anxiety was assessed by using the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for Children-IV. Functional measures included parentreported: quality of life (QoL; Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0), behavior and peer problems (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire), daily functioning (Daily Parent Rating of Evening and Morning Behavior), and school attendance. Teacher-reported behavior and peer problems (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire) were also examined. Linear and logistic regression controlled for ADHD severity, medication use, comorbidities, and demographic factors. RESULTS:Children with $2 anxiety comorbidities (n = 143; 39%) had poorer QoL (effect size: -0.8) and more difficulties with behavior (effect size: 0.4) and daily functioning (effect size: 0.3) than children without anxiety (n = 132; 36%). Poorer functioning was not observed for children with 1 anxiety comorbidity (n = 95; 26%). Two or more anxiety comorbidities were associated with poorer functioning for children with both ADHD-Inattentive and ADHD-Combined presentation. CONCLUSIONS:Children with ADHD demonstrate poorer QoL, daily functioning and behavior when $2 anxiety comorbidities are present. Future research should examine whether treating anxiety in children with ADHD improves functional outcomes. Pediatrics 2014;133:801-808

“…Conducting the ADIS-C/P over the telephone has been found to be equally reliable as the more traditional face-to-face administration (Cobham, Dadds, & Spence, 1998;Lyneham & Rapee, 2005). Each diagnosis attained was given a clincial severity rating (CSR) between 0 (absent) and 8 (very severely distrubing / disabling), with 4 being the level at which clinical severity was indicated.…”

“…In this way, continued yet brief support could be provided without families having to come into the clinic for therapy. In their investigation of the usefulness of bibliotherapy for anxious children, Lyneham & Rapee (2005) found that the addition of follow-up telephone sessions improved treatment efficacy. Future research should investigate the efficacy of such an approach as an adjunct to intensive CBT for children with SP.…”

Intensive Group-Based CBT for Child Social Phobia: A Pilot Study

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: Although CBT has proven efficacious in the treatment of child social phobia (SP), most children do not present for treatment and child SP may be less responsive to treatment than other anxiety disorders. Intensive, group-based, SP-specific CBT may improve the efficacy of, and access to, treatment for child SP. The aim of this study was to provide a preliminary examination of such a program. Method: Forty Australian children aged 7-12 years (15 male and 25 female) were allocated into treatment and waitlist groups. Clinical interviews to determine diagnostic status were conducted prior to treatment, following treatment and at 6-month follow-up. Parent and child questionnaire measures of child anxiety symptoms, internalising symptoms, depression, social skills, social competence, and parental social anxiety were administered at the same time points. Treatment was delivered in four separate 3-hour sessions conducted over three consecutive weekends. Results: At postassessment, 52.4% of children in the treatment group and 15.8% of children in the waitlist group were free of their SP diagnosis. At post-assessment, compared to waitlist children, treatment group children demonstrated a greater drop in clinical severity, a greater increase in overall functioning, and held fewer clinical diagnoses. Treatment group children also reported a greater reduction in SP symptoms compared to waitlist children, and treatment group parents reported a greater reduction in child internalising and anxiety symptoms, a greater increase in child social competence, and a greater decrease in parental SP symptoms, compared to parents of children in the waitlist group. By 6-month follow-up, 76.9% of the treatment group were free of their SP diagnosis and gains on all other measures were maintained. Conclusions: The results of this study are encouraging, and suggest that brief, intensive, group CBT for children with social anxiety is beneficial for many youngsters. A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPTIntensive Group-Based CBT for Child Social Phobia 3 Social Phobia (SP) or Social Anxiety Disorder, is an anxiety disorder where the individual demonstrates a marked fear or anxiety about one or more social situations where they are exposed to possible scrutiny by others (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). It is one of the most common childhood anxiety disorders (Costello, Egger, & Angold, 2005), is associated with a myriad of deleterious short-and long-term consequences (Beidel, Turner, & Morris, 1999), and follows a chronic course if left untreated (Weissman et al., 1999).Fortunately, there have now been a number of studies confirming that cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is efficacious in treating childhood SP.Beidel and colleagues (Beidel & Turner, 2007;Beidel, Turner, & Young, 2006) conducted a series of studies demonstrating the efficacy of their behaviourally oriented Social Effectiveness Therapy for Children (SET-C). In the original randomized control trial of the SET-C program , it was found that...

“…The interview is commonly conducted face-to-face and its duration varies as a function of the presence of symptoms to be investigated. The accuracy of SAD diagnoses obtained through structured interviews has been evaluated, and the results obtained thus far show that the reliability of SAD diagnoses obtained with the original version of the SCID, as well as with versions adapted and translated into other languages, reaches satisfactory levels (Aziz & Kenford, 2004;Del-Ben et al, 2005;Lyneham & Rapee, 2005). Although the SCID was developed to be used face-to-face, interviews in research settings (such as screening for epidemiological surveys) have also been carried out by telephone (Aziz & Kenford, 2004;Carlbring et al, 2007).…”

“…Although the SCID was developed to be used face-to-face, interviews in research settings (such as screening for epidemiological surveys) have also been carried out by telephone (Aziz & Kenford, 2004;Carlbring et al, 2007). Of the many advantages of telephone over inperson interviews, the following are worth mentioning: (a) cost efficiency, (b) simpler logistics, and (c) higher response rates (Carlbring et al, 2007;Lyneham & Rapee, 2005). As SAD may lead to the avoidance of social situations where there is potential for negative evaluation by others, most patients may indeed prefer telephone-administered diagnostic interviews, which makes them particularly suited for epidemiological surveys.…”
