Abstract

Objective Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) protocols for each of the anxiety disorders are robust and effective but are best suited for specialty clinics. This study assessed a format more suitable for general clinics: a single protocol based on standard CBT techniques designed to treat patients who have different anxiety disorders in the same group. Methods Potential participants in Vancouver, British Columbia, were administered a structured clinical interview to identify those with major anxiety disorders: panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia; obsessive-compulsive disorder; social phobia; generalized anxiety disorder; specific phobia; and posttraumatic stress disorder. Forty-three percent of participants had more than one current anxiety diagnosis. Those with active substance abuse or dependence or with psychosis were excluded. A total of 152 patients were randomly assigned to immediate treatment in the 11-week CBT group or to a wait-list control group. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was administered at baseline, at the end of treatment or of the waiting period, and six months later. Results Reductions in BAI scores for participants in the immediate-treatment groups were greater than those for the control group participants. Patients with panic disorder in particular appeared to benefit. Outcomes for the immediate-treatment group were superior in terms of clinically significant changes, defined as a 20% or 40% improvement. Reductions in BAI scores continued to be…

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.
