“…Recent reviews on the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral treatments for anxiety, specific phobias, and school refusal offer empirical data on positive treatment outcomes (Balon, 2004;King, Heyne, & Ollendick, 2005). Studies have also reported that adolescents with disabilities may be at higher risk for anxiety and anxiety related disorders (Hommel et al, 2003;Jackson, Ciechomski, King, Tonge, & Heyne, 2002;King et al, 2005;King, Ollendick, Gullone, Cummins, & Josephs, 1990;Williams et al, 2003).…”

High levels of anxiety can negatively affect the lives of children and adolescents. Thirty-six adolescents who stutter and 36 adolescents who do not stutter were administered standardized scales for anxiety and self-esteem. Significant differences were found for the total T-scores for Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale for the two groups, although both groups mean T-scores were within normal range. Eighty-three percent of adolescents who stutter and 95% of adolescents who do not stutter earned scores in the normal range. No significant differences were found on the self-esteem scale, with 86% of adolescents who stutter and 97% of adolescents who do not stutter earning scores in the normal/positive range. Adolescents who stutter with co-occurring disorders displayed significantly higher levels of anxiety than adolescents who stutter with no co-occurring disorders. No significant differences were found between groups on ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender and anxiety levels. A positive, significant correlation between anxiety scores and self-esteem scores was found for both groups.Learning outcomes: Readers will learn about and understand (a) the role of anxiety and selfesteem in stuttering; (b) the methods used to evaluate anxiety and self-esteem in adolescents; and (c) the similarities between adolescents who stutter and adolescents who do not stutter on anxiety and self-esteem scales. #

“…A growing literature has demonstrated that children and adolescents can experience high levels of illness uncertainty and that increased uncertainty has Downloaded by [Laurentian University] at 15:33 04 June 2016 been related to elevated anxious symptomatology (Hommel et al, 2003) and psychological distress (Van Pelt, Mullins, Carpentier, & Wolfe-Christensen, 2006) in youth with asthma and depressive symptomatology in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (White et al, 2005) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (Hoff, Mullins, Chaney, Hartman, & Domek, 2002). Moreover, higher levels of illness uncertainty in a sample of children with cancer led to negative emotional arousal and significantly interfered with their ability to cope with illness-related stressors and other aversive events (Stewart, 2003).…”

“…A number of recent studies suggest that illness uncertainty in children and families can be associated with increased child distress among a number of illness groups including diabetes (Hoff, Mullins, Chaney, Hartman, & Domek, 2002), asthma (Hommel et al, 2003;Mullins, Chaney, Balderson, & Hommel, 2000), and cancer (Neville, 1998). Similarly, for children with diabetes, an increase in parent's illness uncertainty predicted parent's psychological distress (Carpentier, Mullins, Chaney, & Wagner, 2006).…”
