What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

All enrolled students and their parents or guardians will complete baseline anxiety questionnaires. Students with a positive baseline screen will receive a brief school nurse-delivered coping skill, referral support when indicated, and follow-up assessments at approximately three and six months. Students with a negative screen will not enter the intervention and follow-up phase.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for students who are screened at school and show signs of anxiety or unexplained symptoms. Both the student and their parent or guardian must complete an initial questionnaire. Students without anxiety on the screening will not take part in further steps.
