NCT ID NCT05432323
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether multi-family therapy (therapy with several families together) can help teenagers who refuse to go to school because of anxiety. 74 teens aged 12-18 who had been out of school for at least 2 weeks took part. The researchers measured anxiety and school attendance over about a year to see if the therapy made a difference.
