Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The treatment that cures most of the referred, anxiety disordered children, is considered as the most effective treatment. Therefore, the percentage of children free from anxiety disorders is the primary outcome variable. Anxiety disorders are assessed by means of the (semi)Structured Anxiety Disorder Interview Schedule (ADIS; Silverman & Albano, 1996). Parents and child are interviewed separately concerning the possible mental disorders of the child, by research assistants with clinical experience, who are blind to the treatment condition of the child. Another operationalisation of cure of child anxiety disorders is by means of a child anxiety questionnaire, filled in by both the anxious child and its parents. The SCARED self- and parent report (Muris et al., 1999) and the STAIC (Spielberger, 1973) are used for this purpose. Finally, fear and avoidance ratings of the child’s 5 target situations is used as an idiosyncratic, illness-specific measure.
