Summary

This trial compares two forms of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for children and teens with anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). One approach uses internet-delivered modules with therapist guidance; the other trains parents to lead exposure exercises with their child. The goal is to see which method works better when in-person therapy is hard to access. About 174 youth aged 7 to 17 with significant anxiety or OCD symptoms will take part.

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 delivered via internet modules or parent-coached exposure sessions
What this could lead to
If one approach proves more effective, it could expand access to proven anxiety treatments for children and teens, especially in areas with few therapists.
What could go wrong
This is a comparative effectiveness trial, not a test of a new drug; both therapies already show promise, but the study may find they work equally well or that one only helps certain families.
