PROBLEM: Excessive @entity148 is among the most common @entity146 problems facing youth. Because anxious youth tend to have somatic complaints, many seek help from the school nurse. Thus, school nurses are in an ideal position to provide early intervention. This study addresses this problem and describes the plans to develop and test a new intervention ( @entity1 Anxiety Learning Modules; @entity27646 ), delivered by school nurses, to reduce @entity1 @entity148 and improve academic functioning. METHODS: An iterative development process including consultation with an expert panel, two open trials, and a pilot randomized controlled study comparing @entity27646 to usual care is proposed. Feedback will be solicited from all @entity1 during each phase and data on outcome measures will be provided by @entity1 , parents, teachers, and independent evaluators. FINDINGS: Data will be collected on intervention satisfaction and feasibility. Primary outcomes that include @entity1 @entity148 , classroom behavior, and school performance (e.g., attendance, grades, standardized test scores) will be collected at pre- and post-interventions and at a 3-month follow-up evaluation. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric @entity148 is a common problem that school nurses frequently encounter. Consequently, they are well positioned to play a key role in enhancing access to behavioral health interventions to reduce @entity148 and may therefore make a significant positive public health impact.
