Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the clinical and cost effectiveness of test anxiety as a form of selective prevention for clinical anxiety. Participants will be randomly allocated to cognitive behavioural therapy without booster sessions, cognitive behavioural therapy with two booster sessions, or a no intervention control.


Clinical Trial Description

Test anxiety affects a substantial proportion of adolescents, who show an increased risk of suicide, and of developing clinical anxiety and poor mental health. Externally resourced school-based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) interventions have been shown to be effective in treating test anxiety. Intervening in test anxiety, a sub-clinical anxiety, may prevent anxieties from developing into a clinical disorder. The primary outcomes are test anxiety, clinical anxiety, and wellbeing, measured at baseline, post-intervention, and 6 and 12-month follow-up. In addition, to identify treatment mechanisms additional measures are taken of uncertain control, metacognition, and emotional regulation. ;
