About

The purpose of this study is to examine the content of the treatment being delivered for anxiety disorders for children and adolescents in the regular outpatient clinics in western Norway. The study will also collect data before and after treatment to evaluate the result of the treatment. Furthermore, as part of the study we aim to collect normative data on two questionnaires used to identify anxiety symptoms and the extent to which anxiety interfere with daily functioning.
