Internet-delivered Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents With Autism and Anxiety (NCT06537128)

Internet-delivered Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents With Autism and Anxiety: Development and Evaluation of Learning to Understand and Navigate Anxiety-Adolescent

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: Baylor College of Medicine

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Anxiety is very common in autistic youth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the recommended treatment for both autistic and typically-developing (TD) youth with anxiety, yet most families cannot access CBT due to cost, practicalities of attending in-person treatment sessions, and a shortage of trained providers, especially in rural areas. The goal of this project is to increase access to care for families of autistic adolescents with anxiety through an internet-based treatment model.
