Descriptive Information
Brief Title ^ICMJE	Preventing Anxiety Disorders in Youth
Official Title ^ICMJE	Community Violence and Youth: Preventing Anxiety Disorders
Brief Summary	This study will determine the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral therapy program in preventing anxiety disorders in at-risk children.
Detailed Description	Community violence is a major public health problem in low-income, urban communities. The mental health impact of living in a violent community is significant, particularly for children. Community violence exposure is associated with various symptoms of anxiety. Unfortunately, little research on the prevention of community-related anxiety in youth has been conducted. This study involves a school-based prevention and cognitive behavioral therapy program that will involve predominantly African American children who live in urban areas and are at risk for developing anxiety disorders. Children in this study will be randomly assigned to either an anxiety prevention and early intervention group or a nonintervention group for approximately 3 months. Child, parent, and teacher assessments of anxiety symptoms will be made at the end of the study and at a 6-month follow-up visit.
