Topic: (the topic your Boolean search explored)

The Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as an Intervention for Student diagnosed with Anxiety.

Aim and Objective - The aim of a research project is usually a fairly general, high level statement of what it is that you wish to explore, while the objectives are more specific or focused questions that will address different aspects of the aim.

AIM: The aim of this study is to explore the Effectiveness of CBT as an Intervention of Middle/High/Elementary Student diagnosed with Anxiety.

OBJECTIVES:

· Are middle/high/elementary students more aware of triggers/coping skills after engaging in CBT Intervention.

Client Population: (what client population would this information benefit- e.g. k-12 students with bx diagnosis or substance abuse client)

Adolescent students diagnosed with anxiety disorder. This topic is most suitable for this population because anxiety disorders are developed during this stage of life. Randomized clinical trials indicate that approximately two-thirds of children treated with CBT will be free of their primary diagnosis at posttreatment (Seligman & Ollendick, 2011). Therefore, it is important to understand the effectiveness of CBT as an intervention.

Evidence Based Intervention) i.e. What evidence-based intervention can be used to address the identified problem?):

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and exposure therapy

Justification/Importance: Why is this proposed research needed? How will it add to the knowledge base in your discipline (i.e. school counseling)?

This proposed research is needed due to the increase rate of the current pandemic which includes but is not limited to increase divorce rates, increase death rates, increased rate of abuse and neglect at home, etc. This will allow for further understanding on how to successfully provide interventions for those students with an anxiety disorder.

Briefly describe the steps you will take to conduct your research: - include method of research (qualitative, quantitative or mixed method) and how participants from client population identified above will be recruited and ethical considerations such as obtaining informed consent if applicable.

My method would entail an evidence based method. My recruitment would be based off adolescent students with 504 plans using a stratified sampling method. Some ethical considerations would be obtaining informed consent, confidentiality, supporting student development, and protecting student’s rights.
