Note. Analyses were conducted to determine if demographic or clinical symptom differences were present at baseline between randomization groups. No significant differences in demographics between groups were detected (all χ2s < 3.03, ps > .082, t = 0.17, p = .863), aside from father’s pain history (χ2 = 5.34, p = 0.021). Children assigned to ADAPT+TAU reported higher functional disability at baseline (t = −2.25, p = .027). Groups did not differ on any other clinical symptoms at baseline.
ADAPT = Aim to Decrease Anxiety and Pain Treatment; TAU = Treatment as Usual; FAPD-NOS = Functional Abdominal Pain Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified; IBS = Irritable Bowel Syndrome; DASS = Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales, assesses caregiver report of anxiety symptoms; VAS = Visual Analog Scale; FDI = Functional Disability Inventory; SCARED = Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders.
