“…Individuals with SAD have anxiety symptoms that persist for at least several months and their functioning, including the delivery of speech or ideas, is significantly impaired [1]. SAD also affects children's and adolescents' functioning at school, including an increase of occurrence of crying, freezing and tempering, avoiding classroom activities and peer gathering, seeking reassurance from teacher and parents, and a decline of school performance [2]. A recent study reported that the global prevalence of SAD is 36% [3], with the lifetime prevalence of SAD is up to 10% in children and adolescents [4][5][6].…”

Background Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is prevalent among children and adolescents. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) has been used as the first-line treatment. However, evaluation of CBT conducted in a school setting has been scarce. Objectives This study aims to review the CBT and its effectiveness in the school setting for children and adolescents with SAD or social anxiety symptoms. Quality assessment on individual studies was conducted. Methods Studies were identified through the search in PsycINFO, ERIC, PubMed and Medline targeting CBT conducted in a school setting with an aim to treat children and adolescents with SAD or social anxiety symptoms. Randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies were selected. Results A total of 7 studies met the inclusion criteria. Five studies were randomised controlled trials, and two were quasi-experimental studies with 2558 participants aged 6–16 years from 138 primary schools and 20 secondary schools. There were minor effects to reduce social anxiety symptoms for children and adolescents at post-intervention in 86% of the selected studies. Friend for Life (FRIENDS), Super Skills for Life (SSL) and Skills for Academic and Social Success (SASS) conducted in school were more effective than the control conditions. Conclusions There is a lack of quality of the evidence for FRIENDS, SSL and SASS, due to inconsistencies on the outcome assessments, statistical analyses, and the fidelity measures adopted in individual studies. Insufficient school funding and workforce with relevant health background, and the low level of parental involvement in the intervention would be the major challenges in school-based CBT for children and adolescents with SAD or social anxiety symptoms.

Pediatric anxiety disorders are common and often debilitating conditions. Cognitive is a psychosocial intervention that represents a potentially powerful antidote to these disorders. This article reviews data from treatment outcome studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews as well as from moderation/mediational investigations. The literature supports the efficacy, effectiveness, and durability of positive treatment outcomes for pediatric anxiety disorders. Recommendations for clinical applications are suggested.

This article provides an introduction and overview of the cognitive-behavioral treatment approach to anxiety disorders in children and adolescents. We first provide an introduction to the cognitive-behavioral conceptualization of anxiety, emphasizing the tripartite model of emotions: cognitions, physiological arousal, and avoidance behaviors. We then provide an overview of the basic principles of cognitive behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, including generalized, social, and separation anxiety, and specific phobia. We follow this introduction and overview with a discussion of the structure and goals of treatment, including the three phases of treatment (psychoeducation, application, and relapse prevention). In the context of discussing application, we focus primarily on implementation strategies relating to behavioral exposures and cognitive restructuring. We conclude with a summary of different formats wherein cognitive-behavioral treatment can be implemented, including child-only, peer-group, parent-involved, and telehealth.
