Conceptual Model of Personalised CBT for Childhood Anxiety. 1. Predictors predict risk of optimal/non-optimal response (i.e., parental psychopathology); 2. moderators predict benefit of one treatment over another for a subgroup of children (i.e., CBT over SRT for children with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)); 3. mediators highlight mechanisms of change that influence outcome (i.e., reduce negative self-talk and increase coping abilities); 4 & 5. accurate diagnosis may facilitate subgroup and modular approaches (i.e., could children with SoAD benefit from additional social skills training or could anxious youth with comorbid depression benefit more from additional mood management modules?); and 6. understanding factors that predict individual risk facilitates the use of metrics and predictive analytics to inform treatment decisions (personalisation) to improve treatment outcomes.
