Cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety and depression in children and adolescents
Abstract
Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent disorders in youth. Assessments for these disorders in young people typically include clinician-administered instruments such as diagnostic interviews and parent- and youth-report questionnaires. Cognitive behavioral therapy is considered a well-established treatment for both anxiety and depression. Latest research in the field is exploring innovative methods to enhance treatment outcome and improve access to evidence-based treatments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
