Are you seeing more children and adolescents presenting with anxiety? Learn about practical tools to help pediatric clinicians confidently recognize and address anxiety disorders across the developmental spectrum. Age-appropriate screening methods, diagnostic insight, and evidence-based interventions—focusing on cognitive strategies that can be used in everyday clinical settings will also be covered.

Learning objectives:

  1. Describe the “continuum of worry” within the developmental context.
  2. Compare three common anxiety disorders in children/adolescents.
  3. Select appropriate screening and evaluation tools for anxiety based on patient age.
  4. Discuss cognitive strategies that can be used to help pediatric patients with anxiety.
