Parent-led cognitive behavioural therapy for child anxiety disorders have garnered a growing evidence base. However, it is unclear how such approaches translate into routine clinical practice. The current study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-session treatment (From Timid to Tiger) in reducing child anxiety and behavioural difficulties, as well as family accommodation. The parents of 71 children (aged 4–11) were assigned to the treatment or a waitlist control. Parent report measures were completed pre-treatment, at treatment-end, and at 3-month follow-up. Parents assigned to the waitlist were assessed 8 weeks after the initial assessment. Findings indicated that parents who attended the group reported significant reductions in child anxiety and behavioural difficulties. In addition, the parents in the treatment group reported a reduction in family accommodation compared to those in the waitlist. The current control trial provides tentative evidence of the use and effectiveness of such parent-led approaches in addressing child anxiety difficulties commonly seen in routine clinical practice.

在常规临床实践中评估父母主导的认知行为治疗计划：一项对照试验

家长主导的儿童焦虑症认知行为疗法已获得越来越多的证据基础。然而，尚不清楚这些方法如何转化为常规临床实践。目前的研究旨在评估 8 次治疗（从胆怯到老虎）的有效性) 减少儿童的焦虑和行为困难，以及家庭住宿。71 名儿童（4-11 岁）的父母被分配到治疗组或等候名单控制组。家长报告措施在治疗前、治疗结束时和 3 个月的随访中完成。在初始评估后 8 周，对分配到候补名单的家长进行评估。结果表明，参加该小组的父母报告说，孩子的焦虑和行为困难显着减少。此外，治疗组的父母报告说，与等候名单中的父母相比，家庭住宿减少了。目前的对照试验提供了这种以家长为主导的方法在解决常规临床实践中常见的儿童焦虑困难方面的使用和有效性的初步证据。
