The current study combines data from several
clinical trials resulting in a large sample of children and adolescents
(aged 6e18 years) with primary anxiety disorders (and including
OCD). We compared treatment outcomes for children with SoAD,
GAD, SPEC, SAD, and OCD. These diagnoses were examined as a
primary diagnosis. Small numbers did not allow examination of
PTSD or PD. Treatment outcome was examined using a multimethod
and multi-informant approach. It was hypothesised that
children with a primary diagnosis of SoAD would do worse than
children with other primary anxiety diagnoses. It was tentatively
hypothesised that children with a primary diagnosis of GAD would
do better than children with other primary anxiety disorders. Both
remission rates and symptom change were examined at post and
follow-up treatment.
