Summary
488 Australian children aged 4-7 participated in a longitudinal study evaluating the effectiveness of a school-based cognitive behavioral program designed to reduce anxiety and enhance social and emotional competence. Results support the effectiveness of the program, demonstrating significantly greater improvements across several domains than both a comparison treatment group and a waitlist control group.
