Children’S Anxiety

Abstract Background: Several school-based cognitive behavioral intervention programs have been developed to prevent and improve children’s anxiety disorders. Most programs require a duration of more than 10 hours for completion. We developed a cognitive behavioral program called “Journey of the Brave.” The study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the brief version of the program among 10- to 11-year-old children using 20-minute short classroom activities. Methods: A total of 90 children were divided into two groups (the intervention group, n=31 and the control group, n=59). The control group did not attend any program sessions and followed the regular school curriculum. We conducted fourteen weekly program sessions and assessed children at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 2-month follow-up (6 months after the start). The primary outcome measure was children’s anxiety symptoms, measured using the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS), and the secondary outcome measure was behavior problems, measured using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).Results: A statistically significant reduction in the SCAS score in the intervention group was found at 2-month follow up compared with the control group. Significant reduction was also observed in the SDQ score. Conclusions: Our study suggested that this “Journey of the Brave” program, which requires only 5 hours using short classroom activities, demonstrated a similar effectiveness as the previous programs, which required over 10 hours.Trial registration: UMIN, UMIN000009021, Registered 10 March 2012, https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/icdr/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000010575

The Impact

Objectives: To describe and evaluate the impact of an early intervention (Trauma-Focused Early Intensive Cognitive Behavioral Intervention, TF-EICBI) in children and adolescents who were victims of suicide bombing attacks (SBAs) in Israel.Design: Description of an intervention and preliminary experience in its use.Setting: An acute trauma center of a Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit in a Department of Psychiatry of a university-affiliated medical center.Participants: Ten children and adolescents who were victims of SBAs and underwent early interventions (EIG) were compared to 11 adolescent victims who received no intervention (NEIG).The EIG included all the children and adolescent survivors of various SBAs that had occurred during 1 year who presented to our hospital after the TF-EICBI was implemented (June 2001). The NEIG comprised all adolescents girls 18 years of age at follow-up who survived one SBA (at the “Dolphinarium” Discotheque) before the TF-EICBI was available.Main outcome measures: At the time of the 1-year post-SBA follow-up, all 21 subjects were assessed by the Structured Clinical Interview for Axis 1 DSMIII R Disorders (SCID), and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL).Results: One (10 percent) EI subject and four (36.4 percent) NEI subjects had post-traumatic stress disorder. The mean CBCL total score and most of the mean CBCL behavior problem scores were significantly higher (p 0.021) among the NEI group members.Conclusions: Intervention was effective in preventing and lowering mental morbidity of children and adolescents after SBAs.

Two Phases

Acamprosate, naltrexone and disulfiram have been shown to reduce drinking and/or improve abstinence. We performed a randomized, multicenter study in two phases; first, 12-week continuous supervised medication, followed by targeted medication up to 52 weeks in addition to a 67-week follow up period. 243 voluntary treatment-seeking alcohol-dependent adult outpatients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive supervised naltrexone, acamprosate or disulfiram, 50 mg, 1998 mg or 200 mg respectively per day and brief manual-based cognitive behavioral intervention. The primary outcome measures were the time to first heavy drinking day (HDD) and time during the first 3 months to the first drinking day after medication started. All three study groups showed marked reduction in drinking from baseline to the end of the study. During the continuous medication phase, treatment with disulfiram was more effective in reducing HDDs and average weekly alcohol consumption, and increasing time to the first drink as well as the number of abstinent days. During the targeted medication period, there were no significant differences between the groups in time to first HDD and days to first drinking, but the abstinence days were significantly more frequent in the DIS group than ACA and NTX. However, naltrexone was better than acamprosate in reducing the severity of alcohol dependence indicator SADD scores. We conclude that acamprosate, naltrexone and disulfiram combined with brief manual-based cognitive behavioral intervention significantly reduce alcohol consumption and improve the quality of life. Supervised disulfiram was superior, especially during the continuous medication period, to naltrexone and acamprosate.
