Anxiety is a mental health condition that affects many children and young people, but it has a disproportionate impact on neurodivergent children and young people (NCYP). One major impact of anxiety is on education, so much so that it can contribute to school refusal. NCYP experience many barriers to education, and outcomes tend to be poorer for this group. Understanding the role of anxiety in the educational experiences of NCYP must be a priority for supporting these pupils to achieve their best. The aim of my PhD will be to understand who experiences anxiety at school, why they are anxious, and what can be done to reduce their anxiety. Study 1 will show who is most at risk for anxiety at school and school refusal in a large sample of neurotypical and NCYP pupils, comparing anxious attenders to school refusers. Study 2 will investigate why NCYP are anxious at school using a multi-methods and multi-informant approach including looking at psychological predictors of school anxiety, qualitative interviews with NCYP on their experiences of anxiety at school, and a survey for their parents/teachers. To understand what can be done to reduce anxiety at school I will again focus on the voices of NCYP in Study 3. This research will place the voices of NCYP at the heart of the project, both in terms of shapingthe research design through a youth advisory panel and by focusing on the experiences of NCYP who are anxious at school.

焦虑是一种影响许多儿童和年轻人的心理健康状况，但它对神经分化儿童和年轻人（NCYP）的影响不成比例。焦虑的一个主要影响是对教育的影响，以至于它可能导致拒绝上学。NCYP经历了许多教育障碍，这一群体的结果往往较差。理解焦虑在NCYP的教育经历中的作用必须是支持这些学生达到最佳状态的首要任务。我的博士学位的目的是了解谁在学校经历焦虑，为什么他们焦虑，以及可以做些什么来减少他们的焦虑。研究1将显示在一个大样本的神经正常和NCYP学生中，谁在学校焦虑和拒绝上学的风险最大，比较焦虑的学生和拒绝上学的学生。研究2将使用多方法和多信息的方法调查NCYP在学校焦虑的原因，包括观察学校焦虑的心理预测因素，对NCYP在学校焦虑经历的定性访谈，以及对他们的父母/老师的调查。为了了解在学校可以做些什么来减少焦虑，我将再次关注研究3中NCYP的声音。这项研究将把NCYP的声音置于项目的核心，无论是通过青年顾问小组来塑造研究设计，还是通过关注在学校焦虑的NCYP的经历。
