Developing a primary care-based cognitive behavioral intervention for anxiety in children through a participatory approach: a qualitative study
Overview
This qualitative study outlines the development of 'Step by Step,' a primary care-based cognitive behavioral intervention for children aged 7–12 with mild to moderate anxiety. The resource details a participatory design process involving workshops and interviews with parents, therapists, managers, and experts to refine a two-step stepped-care protocol. It reports pilot feedback from children and adults regarding the intervention's acceptance, feasibility, and appropriateness within a primary care setting.
