Can your Child's doctor treat anxiety? a new approach puts it to the test

This pilot trial tests whether pediatric primary care providers can effectively deliver a brief intervention called the Anxiety Action Plan (AxAP) to help children aged 6-17 with elevated anxiety symptoms. Providers receive training and coaching to administer the intervention, which is based on exposure therapy strategies. The study compares this approach to enhanced usual care, which includes educational videos and handouts. The goal is to see if this model is feasible and acceptable to providers and families, potentially improving access to anxiety care in community settings.
