Abstract:
Anxiety disorders in children and young people are common and impairing. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the recommended first-line treatment and the past two decades have seen numerous digital CBT interventions emerge. Digital CBT has the potential to improve access, reduce waiting times and scale services. However, guidance on how digital CBT should be integrated into routine care pathways remains limited. This article summarises current clinical guidelines for children and young people with anxiety disorders from different parts of the world, with a specific focus on recommendations for digital CBT and its integration into broader care models. Finally, it discusses the role of digital CBT in stepped-care and stratified-care approaches, including ongoing research integrating and sequencing digital CBT differently.
