Summary

This study compares two care models for treating anxiety in 556 children and teens aged 8-17. In stepped care, everyone starts with internet therapy and gets in-person help only if needed. In stratified care, participants are assigned to internet or in-person therapy based on their needs. The goal is to see if the simpler stepped approach works just as well.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

cognitive-behavioral therapy (internet-delivered and in-person)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a simpler stepped-care approach works as well as a more complex stratified model, potentially making anxiety treatment more accessible for young people.

What could go wrong

This is a pragmatic trial comparing care models, not testing a new drug. The results may not apply to all settings, and some participants may not respond to either approach.
