First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether personalizing therapy for anxiety—by matching people to cognitive, behavioral, or mindfulness-based approaches—can improve outcomes. Researchers will look for baseline predictors of success and compare brief video-based skill training to four sessions of therapy. The study involves 600 adults with elevated anxiety living in Ohio and will track effects over one year.
