患有广泛性焦虑症（GAD; N= 75; M年龄= 67.1岁）的老年人被随机分配到认知行为治疗（CBT），围绕令人担忧的主题组织的讨论组（DG）或等待期。相对于等待名单，这两种活动条件下的参与者都有所改善。虽然CBT参与者比DG参与者在更多的指标上有所改善，但作者在治疗后立即发现只有1个显著差异，并且在6个月随访时没有差异。效应大小小于年轻样本，但CBT显示大的影响和DG显示中等大小的影响。总体而言，结果表明，短暂治疗晚年广泛性焦虑症是有益的，但他们只提供了有限的支持，CBT的优越性，一个可信的比较干预。
Older adults with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD; N= 75; M age= 67.1 years) were randomly assigned to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a discussion group (DG) organized around worry-provoking topics, or a waiting period. Participants in both active conditions improved relative to the waiting list. Although CBT participants improved on more measures than DG participants, the authors found only 1 significant difference immediately after treatment and no differences at 6-month follow-up. Effect sizes were smaller than in younger samples, but CBT showed large effects and DG showed medium-sized effects. Overall, results indicate that brief treatment of late-life GAD is beneficial, but they provide only limited support for the superiority of CBT to a credible comparison intervention.
