Project Raising Exposure Awareness for Caregiver Help-Seeking

Conditions: Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Trauma and Stress Related Disorders

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 100
Sponsor: Brown University

Summary

The goal of this pilot randomized study is to learn whether a dissemination campaign co-designed with a community advisory board helps caregivers of children with anxiety and related disorders seek exposure therapy, compared with standard information. Participants are caregivers of children ages 4 to 18 with current anxiety, OCD, or traumatic stress symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the dissemination campaign improve caregivers' knowledge of exposure therapy, attitudes toward it, perceived norms about seeking it, and confidence that they can find an exposure therapist, compared with dissemination-as-usual? Does the dissemination campaign increase caregivers' intentions to seek exposure therapy for their child, compared with dissemination-as-usual? Researchers will compare the dissemination campaign to dissemination-as-usual, which is links to professional organization websites and advice to contact their insurance company or search an online therapist directory. Participants will: * Complete an online survey about their help-seeking intentions, knowledge, attitudes, norms, and confidence * Be randomly assigned to review either the dissemination campaign or dissemination-as-usual materials for at least 10 minutes * Complete the same survey again right after reviewing the materials * Possibly be invited to a 15-minute phone interview 2 months later about whether they sought treatment for their child and what barriers they faced
