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
