Treating Young Adult Generalized Anxiety Disorder With Text-Message Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of the proposed study is to test the feasibility and efficacy of a "anxiety-focused" text-delivered counseling program to reduce anxiety symptoms among young adults (18-25) with elevated anxiety symptoms. We are primarily interested in whether the intervention will reduce anxiety. We have adapted an effective in-person, manualized cognitive behavioral therapy treatment for anxiety (Muñoz et al, 2000) into an 8-week, text-delivered anxiety treatment, named CBT-txt-Anxiety. We will test this with 100 young adults who will be randomized to either CBTtxt-Anxiety or waitlist control condition and assessed at baseline, and at 1- month, 2-months, and 3-months post-baseline.
