Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Primary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the provision of a parent-led intervention compared with usual school practice for children (aged 4-5) identified as at risk for anxiety disorders based on screening positive for one or more risks (child anxiety symptoms, and/or behavioural inhibition, and/or parental anxiety). And we hypothesise that fewer children will have an anxiety disorder in the intervention groups compared to the control groups at 12 months.
