The primary outcome is change in diagnosis.', 'detailedDescription': 'The purpose of the Strongest Families (formerly Family Help Program)is to deliver, primary care mental health services to children and their families in the comfort and privacy of their own home. Approximately 128 children (6-12 years of age)suffering from mild to moderate (but clinically significant) symptoms of pediatric anxiety will be randomized.\n\nThe intervention is delivered from a distance, using educational materials (manuals, video-tapes, audio-tapes) and telephone consultation with a trained paraprofessional "coach" who is supervised by a licensed health care professional. The telephone coach delivers consistent care based on written protocols, with on-going evaluation by a professional team.\n\nFifty percent of the eligible participants will receive Strongest Families (formerly Family Help Program) telephone-based treatment and 50% will be referred back to their family physician to receive standard care as determined by that physician. Those receiving standard care will be evaluated for outcome results and then compared to the Family Help treated participants. It is anticipated that Family Help treatment will be proven to be as or more effective than standard care.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '12 Years', 'minimumAge': '6 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* child 6 to 12 years of age\n* child had Anxiety symptoms for 6 months or longer\n* access to a telephone in the home\n* speak and write english\n* mild to moderate anxiety symptomology\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* severe anxiety symptomology\n* received similar intervention within past 6 months\n* excessive anxiety following a significant traumatic event'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00267566', 'acronym': 'FHP-ANX', 'briefTitle': 'Strongest Families (Formerly Family Help Program): Pediatric Anxiety', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'IWK Health Centre'}, 'officialTitle': 'Strongest Families (Formerly Family Help Program): Primary Care Delivery by Telephone for Psychological and Behavioural Problems (Pediatric Anxiety)', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2234a'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'CIHR CAHR-43273'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Treatment', 'description': '50% random assignment to receive Family Help Anxiety Treatment', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Strongest Families (formerly Family Help Program): Anxiety Program']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Control', 'description': '50% random assignment to control group to receive usual/standard care for anxiety', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Strongest Families (formerly Family Help Program): Anxiety Program']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Strongest Families (formerly Family Help Program): Anxiety Program', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'otherNames': ['Strongest Families (formerly Family Help Program)'], 'description': 'Evidence-based psychological and behavioural distance intervention', 'armGroupLabels': ['Control', 'Treatment']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'B3K 6R8', 'city': 'Halifax', 'state': 'Nova Scotia', 'country': 'Canada', 'facility': 'IWK Health Centre', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 44.64269, 'lon': -63.57688}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Patrick J McGrath, PhD.', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'IWK Health Centre'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'IWK Health Centre', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)', 'class': 'OTHER_GOV'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
