This center grant, in response to the CIDAR RFA, proposes to study neurobehavioral and social correlates of treatment response in 200 youth (ages 9-13) with anxiety disorders (separation anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, and/or social phobia). All youth will receive 10 weeks of CBT for child anxiety disorders and half will also receive a multicomponent intervention to enhance sleep. The studies combines state-of-the-art measures from affective neuroscience, ecologically valid (EMA) measures of mood, sleep, and behavior in natural environments, and measures of family and social context within a developmental framed treatment study. The study design focuses on predictors and mechanisms of treatment response. The structure includes four projects and three cores. Project 1: Cognitive and Affective Features of Childhood and Adolescent Anxiety: From Brain Mechanisms to Recovery will test key features of a "vigilance-avoidance" model focusing on hypotheses that pre-treatment neural correlates of affective reactivity will predict treatment response and early changes in emotional processing will correlate with clinical response during treatment. Project 2: Effects of Sleep Enhancement on Affective Functioning provides a multicomponent sleep intervention to half of the youth to test hypotheses that anxious youth who show sleep improvements will have a more positive and sustained trajectory of improvements in anxiety and social function. Project 3: A Social Contextual Analysis of Treatment Response to CBT for Youth Anxiety examines how affective experiences within the family and social context are associated with treatment response and change across treatment, and how these are associated with and interact with neurobehaviroral changes in affective functioning. Project 4: Moderators and Mediators of Anxiety and Related Health Outcomes Following CBT Treatment examines anxiety and linked health outcomes (e.g. depression and substance use) longitudinally in anxious youth following treatment and examines the relationship of course to specific genetic polymorphisms and environmental stressors. Taken together these studies will advance understanding of the neurobehavioral, affective, and social processes that underpin treatment response in ways that will inform the design, refinement, and optimal developmental timing of cognitive behavioral treatments, and thus, decrease the morbidity, mortality, and lifetime impairments from these common disorders in youth.

该中心赠款，在响应CIDAR RFA，建议研究神经行为和社会相关的治疗反应在200名青少年（9-13岁）与焦虑症（分离焦虑，广泛性焦虑症，和/或社交恐惧症）。所有青少年将接受10周的儿童焦虑症CBT，一半还将接受多组分干预以增强睡眠。这些研究结合了情感神经科学的最先进措施，自然环境中情绪，睡眠和行为的生态有效（EMA）措施，以及发展框架治疗研究中的家庭和社会背景措施。研究设计侧重于治疗反应的预测因素和机制。该结构包括四个项目和三个核心。项目一：儿童和青少年焦虑的认知和情感特征：从大脑机制到恢复将测试“警惕-回避”模型的关键特征，该模型侧重于假设治疗前情感反应的神经相关性将预测治疗反应，情绪处理的早期变化将与治疗期间的临床反应相关。项目二：睡眠增强对情感功能的影响为一半的青少年提供了多组分睡眠干预，以测试以下假设：表现出睡眠改善的焦虑青少年将在焦虑和社会功能方面有更积极和持续的改善轨迹。项目三：青少年焦虑症CBT治疗反应的社会背景分析研究了家庭和社会背景中的情感体验如何与治疗反应和治疗变化相关，以及这些如何与情感功能的神经系统变化相关并相互作用。项目四：CBT治疗后焦虑和相关健康结果的调节剂和中介者纵向检查了治疗后焦虑青年的焦虑和相关健康结果（例如抑郁和物质使用），并检查了与特定遗传多态性和环境压力因素的关系。总之，这些研究将促进对神经行为，情感和社会过程的理解，这些过程支持治疗反应，从而为认知行为治疗的设计，改进和最佳发展时机提供信息，从而降低青年这些常见疾病的发病率，死亡率和终身损害。
