Summary

Connecticut Child STEPS is a randomized controlled trail investigating the effectiveness of MATCH-ADTC in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or behavioral problems in children seeking services at four Department of Children and Families (DCF) funded clinics in the state of Connecticut. The study will evaluate child outcomes following two forms of therapist training in the MATCH model.

BEHAVIORAL

Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Conduct Problems

MATCH-ADTC (Chorpita \& Weisz, 2009) is designed for children aged 6-15. Unlike most evidence-based treatments (EBTs), which focus on single disorder categories (e.g., anxiety only), MATCH is designed for multiple disorders and problems encompassing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and disruptive conduct, including the conduct problems associated with ADHD. MATCH is composed of 33 modules-i.e., specific treatment procedures derived from decades of research on EBTs. The various modules can be organized and sequenced flexibly to tailor treatment to each child's characteristics and needs.

OTHER

Monitoring and Feedback System

For each child, the web-based MFS provides weekly monitoring of the MATCH modules used and the child's treatment response, in two forms (a) changes on the Brief Problem Monitor (BPM) and (b) changes in severity of the top treatment concerns identified by youths and caregivers. At the end of treatment, the MFS provides a complete record of modules used, and child treatment response, across all weeks of treatment.
