The effectiveness of third wave cognitive behavioural therapies for children and adolescents: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Open accessAbstract
Objectives: Third wave cognitive behavioural therapies are increasingly used with children and adolescents. This meta‐analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of four third‐wave interventions (acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focused therapy, mindfulness‐based cognitive therapy, and metacognitive therapy) for youth. Methods: Four electronic databases were used to identify randomized controlled trials, which tested effects related to health, well‐being and functioning. Sensitivity analyses considering study quality were conducted and moderators were explored. Results: The results based on 50 RCTs meeting inclusion criteria indicated emotional symptoms/internalizing problems ( g = −.68, 95% CI −.98 to −.37, k = 43, N = 3265), behavioural difficulties/externalizing problems ( g = −.62, 95% CI −1.01 to −.22, k = 23, N = 1659), interference from difficulties ( g = −.46, 95% CI −.87 to −.05, k = 21, N = 1786), third wave processes ( g = .39, 95% CI .17 to .62, k = 22, N = 1900), wellbeing/flourishing ( g = .76, 95% CI .35 to 1.17, k = 21, N = 1303) and physical health/pain ( g = .72, 95% CI .01 to 1.44, k = 9, N = 1171) yielded significant effects. Effect for quality of life ( g = .62, 95% CI −.08 to 1.31, k = 12, N = 1271) was non‐significant. When analysing only those studies rated moderate‐high quality, third wave interventions yielded significant superiority effects compared to controls for emotional symptoms/internalizing problems ( g = −.55, 95% CI −.82 to −.27, k = 28, N = 2110), interference from difficulties ( g = −.48, 95% CI −.90 to −.05, k = 21, N = 1605), third wave processes ( g = .27, 95% CI .11 to .43, k = 18, N = 1692), well‐being/flourishing ( g = .50, 95% CI .18 to .81, k = 16, N = 1063), and quality of life ( g = .32, 95% CI .04 to .60, k = 10, N = 1212). Behavioural difficulties/externalizing problems ( g = −.38, 95% CI −.86 to .10, k = 15, N = 1351) and physical health/pain ( g = .52, 95% CI −.14 to 1.17, k = 8, N = 1139) ceased to be significant. Widespread heterogeneity raised concerns about generalizability and follow‐up data was relatively sparse. Conclusions: This meta‐analysis finds promising results for use of third wave CBT with youth, though the review has limitations.

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.
