How Many Anxious Kids in Community Mental Health Would Be Eligible for an RCT? And Does It Matter? Insights from a Naturalistic Sample and a Non-Systematic Review
Background : Decades of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) support cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for pediatric anxiety, but exclusion criteria may limit generalizability to routine settings. We examined common exclusion criteria in recent CBT RCTs for pediatric anxiety, trends in these criteria over time, and whether meeting RCT exclusion criteria affects outcomes in a naturalistic sample. Methods : We reviewed 81 RCTs from the past 25 year…
Clinician-Reported Person-Centered Culturally Responsive Practices for Youth with OCD and Anxiety
Background: Exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Ex-CBT) is widely seen as the gold-standard treatment for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Yet, minoritized youth are underrepresented in efficacy studies, raising questions about the applicability of Ex-CBT to minoritized youth. Effectiveness data suggest systematic adaptation of Ex-CBT to address youth culture and context is likely needed, and many clinicians make adaptati…
Improving Accurate Detection of Mental Health Treatment Needs for Youth Through a Standardized Feedback Report
Evidence-based assessments (EBAs) are key to accurately detecting youth who would benefit from exposure therapy (EXP), but EBA is underused, and clinicians struggle to know when EXP is appropriate. Improving clinician case conceptualization may improve appropriate use of EXP. We tested whether viewing a simulated feedback report synthesizing results of standardized assessments and implicated treatment recommendations would impact clinicians' case…
Therapist Anxious Distress and Avoidance of Implementing Time-Out
Therapist anxious distress when delivering child mental health treatment has been understudied as a factor that contributes to the underuse of some evidence-based interventions (EBIs), such as time-out for children with disruptive behaviors. This study investigated therapist anxious avoidance of time-out using a three-part, vignette-based survey design. Therapists (n = 198) read a vignette of an in-session time-out and reported on their personal …

Increasing access to mental health supports for healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond through a novel coaching program
The COVID-19 pandemic led to heightened anxiety, distress, and burnout among healthcare workers and faculty in academic medicine. Penn Medicine launched Coping First Aid (CFA) in March 2020 in response to the pandemic. Informed by Psychological First Aid principles and therapeutic micro skills, CFA was designed as a tele-mental healthcare service for health system employees and their families delivered by trained lay volunteer coaches under the s…
Making Progress Monitoring Easier and More Motivating
Data collection is an important component of evidence-based behavioral interventions for children with autism, but many one-to-one aides (i.e., behavioral support staff) do not systemically collect quantitative data that are necessary for best-practice client progress monitoring. Data collection of clients’ behaviors often involves labor-intensive pen-and-paper practices. In addition, the solitary nature of one-to-one work limits opportunities fo…
