Summary

This pilot study is testing a group-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) who have difficulty tolerating uncertainty. The treatment focuses on helping participants face uncertain situations through behavioural experiments. The study will include 12-20 adults with GAD and high intolerance of uncertainty, and will assess whether a future larger trial is feasible.
