Resumo: | Background: Childhood emotional disorders (EDs; i.e., anxiety and depressive disorders) are currently a public health concern. Their high prevalence, long-term efects, and profound infuence on the lives of children and families high‑ light the need to identify and treat these disorders as early and efectively as possible. This clinical trial will examine the efcacy of a blended version (i.e., combining face-to-face and online sessions into one treatment protocol) of the Unifed Protocol for Children (the “Emotion Detectives In–Out” program). This program is a manualized cogni‑ tive-behavioral therapy for the transdiagnostic treatment of EDs in children aged 7 to 12 years that aims to reduce the intensity and frequency of strong and aversive emotional experiences by helping children learn how to confront those emotions and respond to them in more adaptive ways. Methods: This study is designed as a multicenter equivalence randomized controlled parallel-group two-arm trial comparing the Emotion Detectives In–Out program with an evidenced-based group intervention for chil‑ dren with anxiety disorders (the Coping Cat program). Participants will be children aged between 7 and 12 years with an anxiety disorder or with clinically signifcant anxiety symptoms as well as one of their parents or a legal rep‑ resentative. A minimum sample size of 138 children (69 per group) is needed to test whether the efcacy of the pro‑ posed intervention is equivalent to that of the well-established Coping Cat intervention. Discussion: We expect Emotion Detectives In–Out to be a feasible and efcacious alternative intervention for treat‑ ing children’s EDs by allowing for a greater increase in children’s access to care. A blended format is expected to over‑ come common barriers to treatment (e.g., parents´ lack of time to attend regular sessions) and make the intervention more accessible to families. |
