Social difficulties are commonly associated with anxiety disorders in youth, yet are not well specified in the literature. The aim of this study was to identify patterns of social experiences in clinically anxious children and examine the associations with indices of emotional functioning.
Sixty-four children with a primary diagnosis of separation anxiety disorder, social phobia, and/or generalized anxiety disorder and their parents and teachers participated in a study to examine patterns of social experiences in clinically anxious children.
Overweight and obesity prevalence has increased over the past 30 years. Few studies have looked at the enrolled Military Health System (MHS) population (2,2 million per year).
This descriptive report, for 2009-2012, compares the prevalence of overweight and obese children and adults in the Military Health System (MHS) population to rates of the general U.S. population.
