Children and adolescents with social anxiety

The effect of generic cognitive behavioral therapy (e.g. the Cool Kids program) is reduced in children and adolescents with social anxiety. We are testing, in collaboration with Centre for Emotional Health, Macquarie University, a treatment program aimed at children and adolescents with social anxiety. The project is funded by Trygfonden.

Online therapy

In a previous randomized controlled study, we investigated the effect of an online-based treatment program, Chilled Out, on youth with anxiety. At present, we are testing the feasibility of the program after moving the program to a Danish platform. The project is funded by Edith og Godtfred Kirk Christiansens Fond og Trygfonden

Our research strategy

  • Developing and testing methods for the prevention and treatment of psychological problems in children and adolescents.
  • Studying who benefits the most from different types of treatment - among other things with a view to developing a so-called ‘stepped-care’ approach to treatment.
  • Examining which treatment mechanisms are the most effective.

 

  • Developing and testing diagnosis tools such as questionnaires and diagnostic interviews.
