Summary

Despite research identifying effective treatments for youth anxiety, parents (and other primary caregivers) are unaware that some treatments are more effective than others. This study investigates whether having a local parent key opinion leader co-facilitate an educational outreach presentation on effective treatment for youth anxiety will increase parent demand for evidence-based practices (EBPs). It is hypothesized that participants who receive a presentation co-presented by a key opinion leader will be more likely to have sought cognitive behavioral therapy for their child at the three-month follow up, relative to participants who receive a presentation presented by two researchers.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Supporting Anxious Youth: Strategies for Caregivers

The outreach presentation will last 75 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for caregiver questions. The presentations will occur in the evening via Zoom. The presentation will include information about identifying anxiety disorders, strategies for caregivers to help their youth with anxiety, evidence-based practices to treat youth anxiety, and strategies for finding a therapist who uses cognitive behavior therapy with exposures. The text on the presentations is written at a 5.3 grade reading level. Presentations will incorporate stigma reduction strategies, such as education to dispel myths, and behavioral decision-making tools to elicit hope, empowerment, and motivation.
