Unified Protocol for Adolescents (UP-A) Change Processes
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Adolescent - Emotional Problem, Emotional Disorder
In brief
The purpose of this protocol is to employ single case analytic strategies, including a multiple baseline design and novel modeling techniques to identify changes in cross-cutting features of emotional disorders as well as emotional disorder symptoms during the implementation of The Unified Protocol for the Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Adolescents (UP-A). The first aim is to investigate relationships between the use of UP-A treatment components and changes in measures of cross-cutting features of emotional disorders. The second aim is to investigate when and how reductions in symptoms of emotional disorders and presenting problems (i.e., symptoms of anxiety and depression, severity of presenting problems) occur throughout treatment.
