Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This paper presents a secondary analysis of a cluster randomized trial involving approximately 3000 school-aged children to evaluate the differential impact of the universal cognitive behavioral program 'FRIENDS for Life.' The study assesses changes in anxiety and depression risk status across clinical, borderline, and normal baseline categories. Results indicate that while the program did not significantly alter overall risk status, it produced significant treatment effects specifically for children already within the clinical range for anxiety and depression.
