1 Dimensional Brain Behavior Predictors of CBT Outcomes in Pediatric Anxiety

Anxiety is among the most prevalent, costly and disabling illnesses and tends emerge early in childhood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the first-line treatment for early life anxiety, but as many as 40% of young patients who receive CBT fail to get better. The proposed study will examine brain changes marking positive response to CBT for anxiety and how these changes may differ in children compared adolescents. By helping us to understand how CBT works, this study will pave the way for new treatments to stop anxiety early.

NCT02810171 Anxiety Disorders Social Anxiety Disorder Social Phobia Generalized Anxiety Disorder Separation Anxiety Disorder Specific Phobia Phobia Agoraphobia Panic Disorder Panic Attack Anxiety Behavioral: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Behavioral: Relaxation Therapy
MeSH:Disease Anxiety Disorders Phobic Disorders Panic Disorder Phobia, Social Agoraphobia Anxiety, Separation
HPO:Agoraphobia

Primary Outcomes

Description: Pre- to post-CBT changes in functional, connectivity and structural MRI measures of brain networks relevant for anxiety. Brain regions include the amygdala, anterior insula, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC). Functional activation and connectivity of these brain regions are assessed using simple computer tasks performed during MRI scanning. Tasks engage threat reactivity, self-regulatory control and the interaction of these processes. Structural connections between regions will be measured using a MRI technique that measures water diffusion in the brain.

Measure: Brain function/structure as assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans

Time: Baseline and 12-weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Description: The Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS) is a clinician-administered assessment to rate the severity of anxiety symptoms associated with common DSM-V anxiety disorders (social phobia, separation anxiety disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder) in children. The investigators are looking for decreases in anxiety severity ratings from pre- to post-treatment.

Measure: Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale

Time: weeks 0, 3, 6, 9, 12

2 Neurally Targeted Interventions to Reduce Early Childhood Anxiety

Clinically significant anxiety affects up to 20% of preschool-aged children and often fails to respond to currently available treatments. Emerging science suggests that increasing brain capacity for "effortful control" (EC) may help anxious children to regulate emotion and behavior to improve outcomes. Thus, in the proposed study, children will be trained on EC tasks (including selective attention, response inhibition, etc.) to increase capacity for effortful control (EC) over fear behaviors. To determine whether EC training improves brain capacity to regulate fear, investigators will assess neurophysiological and behavioral indices of effortful control and fear reactivity before and after this training.

NCT03093376 Anxiety Disorders Behavioral: Effortful Control Camp Behavioral: Waitlist
MeSH:Anxiety Disorders

Primary Outcomes

Description: Error-related negativity (ERN) is assessed through the "Zoo task", a "Go/No-Go" paradigm assessing effortful control. Children view a series of animals on a computer screen and are asked to press a button when a new animal appears (Go trials), unless the animal is an orangutan (i.e., inhibit button response, No-Go trials). The task includes 8 blocks, each containing 30 unique animals (Go trials) and 10 orangutans (No-Go trials) in random order. Event related potentials (ERP; direct responses to stimuli measured using electroencephalography) will be examined from fronto-central recording sites time-locked to error and correct response. Differentiation between these trial types is the primary ERN measure, but ERN in error trials will also be considered, as well as ERPs in correct trials. The number of No-Go errors and response times (RTs) to Go trials will also be considered in analyses, as performance can affect ERN amplitude.

Measure: Change from Baseline Error Related Negativity (ERN) at Post-Intervention

Time: approximately 10 weeks

Description: Preschool participants watch age appropriate film clips (four fearful, four neutral, and four happy clips). White noise bursts are presented at varying time points to elicit the startle eyeblink response (FPS), recorded from two electrodes under the left eye.

Measure: Change from Baseline Fear Potentiated Startle (FPS) at Post-Intervention

Time: approximately 10 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Assessed using the Spence Anxiety Scale for Preschoolers (Spence, Rapee, McDonald, & Ingram, 2001). This 34-item parent-report scale provides an overall measure of child anxiety.

Measure: Change in Anxiety Symptoms

Time: approximately 10 weeks

3 Comparison of Patient-Centered Versus Provider-Centered Delivery of Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) for Pediatric Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

There is strong evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure is the preferred treatment for youth with anxiety disorders, but outpatient services that provide this type of treatment are limited. Even for those who do have access to anxiety-specific treatment, a traditional outpatient model of treatment delivery may not be suitable. Among the numerous logistical barriers to treatment access and response is the inability to generalize treatment tools to settings outside of the office. Patient-centered (home-based or telehealth) treatment models that target symptoms in the context in which they occur could be more effective, efficient, and accessible for families. The present study aims to compare the efficacy, efficiency, and feasibility of patient centered home-based CBT and patient centered telehealth CBT with a traditional office-based model of care. The question proposed, including proposed outcomes, have been generated and developed by a group of hospital, payer, patient and family stakeholders who will also contribute to the iterative process of protocol revision. The investigators anticipate 379 anxious youth to be randomized to receive outpatient treatment using telehealth, home-based services, or treatment as usual using a traditional outpatient model. Results of this study are expected to provide evidence for the efficacy and efficiency of patient-centered treatment, as well as increase treatment access and family engagement in the treatment process.

4 Neurally Targeted Cognitive Training to Augment Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Outcomes in Pediatric Anxiety

This study will assign eighteen participants with anxiety to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with computerized cognitive training (CCT). In addition, the study will have a control group and enroll thirty-six age- and gender-matched anxious children assigned to CBT. The hypothesis of this trial is that CCT with CBT will further increase task control network (TCN) activation and connectivity. Both groups will have one CBT therapy session each week for 12 weeks. However, for participants in the CCT arm plus CBT they will also receive up to 4 weeks of at home CCT to complete during the two weeks prior to the first CBT session and during the two weeks after the first CBT session. CCT is to be done at home for approximately 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week. Additionally, participants in the CCT arm plus CBT will receive CCT for 30 minutes just prior to CBT sessions 4-12. Each group will also have pre and post therapy functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and be asked to complete anxiety severity interviews and questionnaires throughout the study as well as after the treatment. Update as of 4/7/2020: Enrollment and in-person-only interactions/interventions are temporarily paused due to COVID-19 and are expected to resume in the future. This is not a suspension of IRB approval.

7 Mental Health Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on NIMH Research Participants and Volunteers

Background: The COVID-19 outbreak has caused many changes to people s normal social patterns. The respiratory illness has been the major focus of public health efforts. But most experts also agree that government and public health mandates to slow the spread of the illness, such as social distancing, have a significant effect on people s mental health. Environmental stressors, such as constraints on activities, social contact, and access to resources, take a toll. Researchers want to learn how stressors related to COVID-19 affect mental health over time. Objective: To learn the relationship between stressors related to COVID-19 and self-rated measures of mental health symptoms and distress among a range of people. Eligibility: English-speaking adults ages 18 and older Design: This study will be conducted online. Participants will give their first and last name and email address. They will indicate if they have ever been in an NIH research study. They will get a username and password. Every 2 weeks for up to 6 months, participants will complete online study surveys. They will get email reminders. Some surveys will be repeated. At the end of the study, they will complete a set of end-of-study surveys. The surveys will ask about the following: Age, sex, race, and other sociodemographic data Mental and medical illness history and treatment Family medical history Mobility, self-care, and life activities Behaviors related to alcohol and substance use disorder Mental illness symptoms Psychological distress Stressors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will get links to mental health resources, such as hotlines. They will also get guidance on steps to take to seek care or support. Study website: nimhcovidstudy.ctss.nih.gov

9 Impact of a Minimal Psychoeducational Intervention Versus Standard of Care on Anxiety Among Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients in Denmark: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: There is limited knowledge on the psychological implications of COVID-19 among hospitalized patients and their close relatives. Moreover, evidence-based psychological interventions targeting hospitalized COVID-19 patients and their relatives are currently lacking. Objective: To test a minimal psychoeducational intervention versus standard of care for reducing anxiety among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Methods and analysis: The trial is a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with a 1 month and 3 month follow-up. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients are consecutively included at admission and randomized 1:1 to either an intervention or control group. Patients randomized to the intervention group will receive a minimal psychoeducational intervention just prior to discharge from the hospital. The goal of the intervention is that patients will be prepared and learn to interpret and react to physical and psychological symptoms that are related to recovering from a COVID-19 infection. Data is collected using standardized and validated patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess mental health outcomes. The primary outcome is patient reported anxiety as assess by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Perspectives: This study will provide a comprehensive understanding of the psychological implications of the COVID-19 outbreak. If successful, the minimal intervention is easily implemented in daily clinical practice.

10 The Ariel University Survey on Dietary Changes and Anxiety During the Coronavirus Pandemic: TARUS

Background/Objectives: Psychological anxiety has been associated with alterations in eating patterns. The 2020 global coronavirus pandemic has created a situation characterized by increased anxiety. The present international survey was designed to examine associations between exposure to quarantine/isolation measures, anxiety levels and changes in dietary patterns. Methods: The present study utilizes a Google Survey platform to conduct an international survey querrying dietary patterns before vs. after the coronavirus pandemic; anxiety during the pandemic; and demographic characteristics. The nutrition portion of the survey is based on the Mediterranean Diet Score while the anxiety estimate is based on the GAD-7. The survey is available in English, Hebrew, Spanish, Italian, French, Arabic and Russian. It has been distributed via social media. Anticipated Results: We believe that changes in dietary habits will be identified and that these will be associated with anxiety levels. Additionally, we believe that by-country differences will be identified. Discussion: The Google Survey format distributed by social media provides an almost immediate means of distributing the survey globally. The survey can only be completed if the respondent first indicates his/her informed consent. The convenience sample limits generalizability to individuals who volunteer to complete online surveys; however, we anticipate a large response which may mitigate this limitation.

11 Attention Bias Modification for Reducing Health Anxiety During the Coronavirus Pandemic: An Open Pilot Trial

The outbreak of the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a major stressor leading to increased levels of anxiety, and specifically, an excessive fear of being infected and affected by the disease among major parts of the population. At the same time, the access to mental health services is limited due to the lockdown policy applied in many countries worldwide, warranting the development of home-delivered interventions aimed at reducing stress and anxiety symptoms. Attention Bias modification (ABM) has been found to be an efficacious computerized intervention to reduce anxiety symptoms. In this open pilot trial, participants reporting on elevated levels of health anxiety concerning the COVID-19 epidemic will receive one session of ABM over 5 consecutive days (5 sessions total). Symptoms of health anxiety, state anxiety, generalized anxiety, and depression will be measured at baseline and post-treatment.

13 Parenting in a Pandemic: Parental Stress During the COVID-19 and Its Association With Depression and Anxiety

This study seeks to investigate the levels of parental stress across different demographic subgroups in the general parental population during the strict social distancing government-initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also seeks to examine the predictors of parental stress rates related to these non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's). In addition, the research will investigate the association between parental stress associated and psychopathology symptoms (i.e., depression and generalized anxiety). The aim of the project is to: - Inform the policymakers, the general public, scientists, and health practitioners about the psychological associations of the COVID-19-related government-initiated measures on parental stress, with special focus on the school and kindergarten lockdowns. - Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect families against possibly increased psychological stressors. - Help policymakers and healthcare professionals to better understand the association of demographic variables and other predictors on parental stress and parent-child dysfunction, which information necessary for evaluating the psychological impact of NPIs on parental stress and thus the framework under which decisions about school/kindergarten lockdowns are made.

NCT04377074 Parental Stress Depression Anxiety
MeSH:Depression Depressive Disorder Anxiety Disorders
HPO:Depressivity

Primary Outcomes

Description: Three items from the Danish Parental Stress Scale (PSS) was selected, which intends to be a short measure of perceived stress resulting from being a parent (Pontoppidan et al., 2018). The scale consists of nine items measuring parental stress where each is measured on a five-point Likert scale (1-5), with the scores ranging from 3 to 15. Higher scores indicate higher parental stress. The following three were chosen in this large-scale investigation: 1) I feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of being a parent. 2) The major source of stress in my life is my child(ren), and 3) It is difficult to balance different responsibilities because of my child(ren) (Pontoppidan et al., 2018).

18 Determination of Stress and Anxiety Levels of Mothers Lying in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit During Coronavirus Disease Pandemic Period

Although coronaviruses (CoV) cause mild infections in the community, such as colds, they can also cause more severe infections. There are many subspecies of coronaviruses that can pass from animals to humans and can be transmitted between humans. One of these subspecies is COVID-19 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), SARS-CoV-2, and has made a worldwide pandemic from the beginning of 2020. In this process, going out of the house, going to the hospital and being in the hospital brings with it the anxiety to get sick. In the period when the feeling of motherhood begins at the end of birth, the hospitalization of the baby for any reason and the separation of the mother and the baby can be an additional source of stress. This study was planned to determine the anxiety and anxiety levels of mothers who had a baby in the NICU during Coronavirus disease pandemic and the factors affecting them.

22 Mental Health Support for SickKids Children and Families During COVID-19 Using Established eHealth Interventions

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and associated emergency measures (EM) have dramatically impacted the lives of children/adolescents (children) and families. The closure of schools, social and recreational activities, and modifications to work environments has led to significant changes in the way children and families are working, living and socializing. Although the impact on the mental health of children and families has not been well researched, it is anticipated that already stressed children and families with pre-COVID-19 mental health challenges are at significant risk for deterioration in their mental health. As such, the implementation, and evaluation (specifically: feasibility, acceptability and barriers) of virtual-care interventions to alleviate child and family anxiety and enhance family functioning are critical. Virtual-care also optimizes health equity initiatives in reducing social, economic and environmental barriers to services that can improve or maintain mental health (WHO, 2017; MOHLTC, 2018). The current study will evaluate an adapted virtual-care cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) program for children with anxiety (VC-CBT). CBT has a strong evidence-base in treating children with anxiety disorders (Higa-McMillan, Francis, Rith-Najarian, and Chorpita, 2016; Seligman and Ollendick, 2011), with increasing evidence supporting the efficacy of virtual-care CBT for childhood anxiety disorders (Carpenter, Pincus, Furr, and Comer, 2018; Slone, Reese, and McClellan, 2012). This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, participation barriers related to social determinants of health (SDH) and acceptability of this virtual-care intervention in addressing mental health challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing EM in the immediate time-period. Early evaluation of this virtual-care intervention will enable future scale-up of this intervention during the post-pandemic recovery time-period and during subsequent COVID-19 waves, if necessary.

26 Predictors and Mechanisms of Depression and Anxiety During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Study description: The present study seeks to investigate the predictors and maintaining mechanisms of depression and anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic, exactly 3 months following the strictest viral mitigation strategies initiated in Norway in response to the pandemic. This is the time period where the major pandemic protocols are lifted in Norway, following three months of strict pandemic mitigation protocols. The study further aims to identify subgroups with highest levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms during the measurement period, to identify vulnerable subgroups with maintained symptoms three months following the pandemic. Hypotheses and research questions: Research Question 1: What is the level of depressive and anxiety symptoms three months following the employment of the strict viral mitigation protocols (i.e., physical distancing protocols) in the general adult population? What are the proportion above the validated cut-offs for depression and general anxiety? Hypothesis 1: There will be a significant decrease in the levels of depression and anxiety symptoms from the baseline (T1) with the strictest mitigation protocols to measurement the measurement period three months into pandemic (T2) where major pandemic mitigation protocols are lifted. Additionally, there will be a significant decrease in the proportion of the sample meeting validated cut-offs for depression and anxiety from T1 to T2. Hypothesis 2: Higher level at T1 and less reduction from T1 to T2 in positive metacognitions, negative metacognitions, and unhelpful coping strategies all measured with CAS-1, will be related to less reduction in depression and anxiety, above and beyond age, gender, and education. Higher level at T1 and increases from T1 to T2 in physical activity and perceived competence will be related to greater reduction in depression and anxiety, above and beyond, age, gender, and education. Exploratory: The investigators will further explore the proportion showing reliable change in depression and anxiety and investigate the differences in changes in depression and anxiety across different demographic subgroups in the sample

27 The Impact of Information Sources on Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Study description: The present study seeks to investigate the impact of various sources of information on psychopathology, and specifically health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study will investigate the divergent impact of various information sources on these psychopathological symptoms during the pandemic. Hypotheses and research questions: Hypothesis 1: Media consumption across all information sources will significantly be associated with depression and anxiety symptoms, with increased media consumption in general associated with higher levels of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Hypothesis 2: Using social media and online interactive platforms to obtain news about the pandemic in comparison to using traditional media (e.g., TV, radio, and newspapers) will be associated with higher levels of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Actively staying away from information will further significantly be associated with higher levels of higher levels of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Research Question 1: Is there a differential effect among different information sources on health anxiety, depression and general anxiety? To what extend and how are different information sources related to symptoms of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Exploratory: Additionally, we will exploratory investigate to what extent the amount of use of different information sources impact health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. We will also examine effect sizes with part correlations, to investigate information sources with the most and least detrimental impact on health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Furthermore, we will report which information platforms participants reported as most useful with regards to information concerning how to best deal with the pandemic.

28 Information Sources and Their Relationship to Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Network Study

This study aims to investigate the association between the use different information sources to obtain information about the COVID-19 pandemic and symptoms of psychopathology (i.e., depression and anxiety). Research Question: How central are different sources of information used to obtain knowledge about the COVID-19 pandemic in network along with depressive and anxiety symptoms? Which sources of information are most strongly connected to different symptoms of depression and anxiety? Staying away from information will be measured in the present study. As avoidance is a type of safety behavior in anxiety disorders, we are further eager to investigate the centrality of this behavior in the network. Furthermore, multiple studies using latent-variable paradigms have established a relationship between sum-scores of depression and social anxiety use in general. We are further interested in examining this potential link more thoroughly and detailed in the present network study. The findings of this study, although they will be cross-sectional and require further examination in studies with temporal data structure, will be an important and interesting starting point giving initial ideas about potential mechanisms that may be involved in use of information sources in pandemics and mental health

31 Social Anxiety Telehealth Therapy Study

The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially increased the risk of adverse mental health outcomes; while physical distancing is required to reduce infection risk, it also increases loneliness and isolation and prevents access to traditional in-person therapy, which further contribute to risk of adverse mental health outcomes. These problems may be especially acute for individuals with social anxiety disorder (as many as 12% of Americans), however there is a limited evidence-base for telehealth options to directly address social anxiety. This project aims to adapt exposure therapy for social anxiety to a telehealth and physical distancing-compatible intervention, and test whether this effectively decreases loneliness in adults with elevated social anxiety.

32 Changes in Physical and Sports Activity, Anxiety and Sleep Patterns Following the Containment Period Imposed by the COVID-19 Pandemic in Patients With Chronic Medical Conditions and in Healthy Athletes.

In the context of the containment imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and taking into account the numerous restrictions imposed, the practice of physical and sports activities (PSA) could be reduced by general population and sports population. While the practice of regular physical activity (PA) is prescribed and widely recognized as effective for the management of many chronic conditions and that regular participation in sports (SA) reduces the risk of injury and cardiac accidents- vascular disease in sports subjects, the reduction in regular physical activity levels in the wake of the period of confinement is likely to induce a medical risk in connection with the resumption of PSA.

36 Self-assessment of Anxiety Level and Oral Hygiene Practice in Dental Students of Cairo University During Covid-19 Pandemic

Covid-19, the infection caused by a novel corona virus detected in December 2019 in Wuhan (Hubei province), is now a pandemic announced by World Health Organization, raising concerns of widespread panic and increasing anxiety in individuals. This outbreak results in mass quarantine in Egypt since middle of March 2020. Brooks et al. (2019) reviewed and reported quarantine could bring "post traumatic stress symptoms, confusion, and anger. Stressors included longer quarantine duration, infection fears, frustration, boredom, inadequate supplies, inadequate information, financial loss, and stigma.". Many universities decided to suspend in-person classes and evacuate students in responding to the intensifying concerns surrounding Covid-19. This action can lead to negative psychological consequences among college students. Oral health related behavior and attitudes habits correlate with oral health status and can be considered to be its predictors . There is a claim of potential connection between high bacterial load in the mouth and complications associated with Covid-19 infection. Bacteria present in the meta genome of patients severely infected with Covid-19 included high reads for Prevotella, Staphylococcus, and Fusobacterium, all usually commensal organisms of the mouth. Over 80% of patients in ICU exhibited an exceptionally high bacterial load. Accordingly, the investigators assume that good oral hygiene better to be maintained during a Covid-19 outbreak in order to reduce the bacterial load in the mouth and the risk of a bacterial super infection in case of catching the infection . While there seems to be a common belief that psychosocial stress affects oral hygiene behavior, this assumption has rarely been proved9 Dental students, as the future providers of dental care, are ex¬pected to be role models for their patients regarding the oral hygiene practice and they supposed to be aware of the importance of preserving the oral health. Thus, we intended to select them as our population to study how the level of anxiety during pandemic could affect the practice of oral hygien

37 Online Delivery of Psychotherapy, Tailored to Patients' Suffering From Mental Health Problems Due to COVID-19

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of individuals social life and its negative consequences on Canadian public health go far beyond the direct overload of the hospital care system. Self-isolation and financial uncertainty can significantly deteriorate individuals' mental health, which is only going to aggravate with prolonged physical distancing strategies. Adding to this is the personal and public trauma of lost lives and soon there will be an unprecedented epidemic of mental health problems with crushing effects on the public health sector and economy. To meet this huge new demand for an already strained health system, there is a need for innovative new approaches that significantly expand the capacity of care delivery. While it may not be possible in the short term to increase the number of mental healthcare providers or the number of hours they work, improving their time spent efficiently might be the solution. Virtual care and online delivery of psychotherapy, shown to be clinically effective, efficient and cost-effective, might be the perfect solution to address the high demand faced now. The investigators aim to establish the first academic online psychotherapy clinic to manage mental health problems secondary to COVID-19. The goal is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of treating COVID-19 related mental health issues in this clinic, offering a 10-week, diagnosis-specific, online psychotherapy program. The investigators will use the Online Psychotherapy Tool (OPTT), a secure cloud-based digital mental health platform, developed by the PI, Dr. Alavi. Potentially, this method of care delivery could increase care capacity by four-folds. The findings from this project have the potential to influence clinical practice and policy and increase accessibility to care during COVID-19 pandemic, without sacrificing the quality of care.
