Anxiety Clinical Trial - Evaluating an Internet-based Program for Anxious

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Anxiety is a common mental health problem for Canadian adolescents. Anxiety that is diagnosed as a disorder and serious enough to require treatment affects up to 10% of all adolescents by the age of 16. The median age of onset is 11 years, making these disorders some of the earliest to develop. Anxiety disorders can have serious negative effects on a young person's personal relationships, school performance, and family life. These disorders may not be discovered by adolescents, parents and health care providers. Even if anxiety disorders are discovered, adolescents may not get the right therapy. Anxious adolescents can become sick if their anxiety is not treated properly. The investigators will carry out research to test Breathe, an Internet-based treatment for adolescents with anxiety problems. Adolescents can use this treatment from home via the computer. Breathe will include information materials and personalized homework assignments to help anxious adolescents learn ways to manage anxiety. More information can be found and www.TheBreatheStudy.com

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two groups, an Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) experimental group (Breathe) and a resource webpage (control group; considered treatment as usual for youth waiting for services). The investigators will evaluate several methodological processes and outcomes through the following objectives:

1. To determine the effectiveness of a self-guided Internet-based CBT program with limited telephone and email support in reducing anxiety symptoms among adolescents with mild-to-moderate anxiety as compared to a usual self-help intervention, a resource-based webpage.

2. To explore mediators and moderators of the Internet-based CBT program.

3. To determine the effectiveness of a self-guided Internet-based CBT program in improving quality of life as compared to a usual self-help intervention.

4. To determine adherence to a self-guided Internet-based CBT program.

5. To determine the cost-effectiveness of the Internet-based CBT program. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
