CEBU’s research strategy:
1. Developing and testing methods for the prevention and treatment of psychological problems in children and adolescents.
2. 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.
3. Examining which treatment mechanisms are the most effective.
4. Developing and testing diagnosis tools such as questionnaires and diagnostic interviews.

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.
