Parental Opinions Regarding Treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder in Youth
Abstract
This study surveyed parents' opinions about treatment for childhood social anxiety disorder and assessed variables that may affect treatment acceptability. A 20-item survey assessing treatment attitudes and a semistructured interview were administered to 190 parents of children (8-17 years) who were randomly selected from a pediatric primary care setting. An exploratory factor analysis of the treatment attitudes survey yielded four factors: medication acceptability, counseling acceptability, counseling feasibility, and general beliefs about social anxiety treatment. Findings revealed that parents endorsed favorable attitudes toward counseling and somewhat neutral beliefs about medication. White parents were more accepting of medication and counseling and also perceived counseling as more feasible than nonwhite parents. Treatment acceptance was associated with past mental health utilization but not with severity of social anxiety. Further research is necessary to determine if clinical interventions for child anxiety disorders may be more efficacious if parents' attitudes and beliefs about prescribed treatments are addressed.

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.
