Summary
669 Australian children who had participated in a previous study evaluating the effectiveness of a teacher-facilitated cognitive behavioral intervention for anxiety and depression completed this follow-up study, designed to evaluate longitudinal effects (at 2 and 3 years post-treatment). Results support the long-term effectiveness of the program, particularly for girls, with children in the intervention group reporting lower anxiety than those in the control group.
