By City News Service Apr 15, 2021 LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The Children's Hospital Los Angeles announced today it received $6.1 million to conduct research into the success of treatments for children's anxiety, which affects one in five youth. The study, which is funded through the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, will be the first to measure the success rates of cognitive behavioral therapy and medication, the two common treatments for children with anxiety. “There hasn't yet been a head-to-head comparison for treatment strategies in real-world settings,'' said Dr. Bradley Peterson, chief in the division of child psychiatry at CHLA. “We are excited to be able to lay this foundation and finally answer these questions.''
