Summary

The goal of this open clinical trial is to try out and evaluate a relatively new transdiagnostic psychological treatment, Unified Protocol (UP-C/A), in group format for children and adolescents aged 7-17 years of age with anxiety and/or depression and their parents, in primary care. The therapists in the project will receive training and on-going supervision in UP-C/A.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What are the children's (patients) and parents experience of undergoing a transdiagnostic psychological treatment (UP-C/A) in primary care?
2. What are the therapists' experience of having carried out the treatment with a transdiagnostic psychological treatment (UP-C/A) in primary care?
3. To what extent do children and parents answer self-reports and clinician administered instruments regarding symptoms of anxiety, depression, function and quality of life?
4. To what extent do children and their parents complete the treatment and what is the dropout rate?
5. What does the distribution of diagnoses and co-morbidity look like for patients included in the study?
6. What is the treatment outcome with regard to emotion regulation, symptoms of anxiety, depression, function and quality of life? rated by patients, parents and therapists.
7. To what extent are any effects maintained at a 6-month follow-up?

The participants and their parents will partake in group treatment with Unified Protocol of 11 sessions following an initial screening with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for children and adolescents (MINI-KID).
