The purpose of this study is to assess whether improving sleep in children and adolescents with anxiety disorder will further enhance affective, clinical, and social functioning.
This study is one of two interlinking protocols developed to investigate neural, affective, behavioral and social predictors of improvement as a critical next step in advancing the understanding of processes involved in the treatment response of anxiety disorders in youth. This protocol will offer a six to eight session sleep intervention (Sleeping Tigers)children ages 9-13 who currently have a DSM-IV anxiety disorder and who endorse some level of impairment in their ability to sleep. Participants will have completed a 16 session intervention for anxiety (IRB submission, Child Anxiety Treatment Study CATS). We hope to assess whether improving sleep will further enhance affective, clinical, and social functioning.
