Online Parent Education for Child Anxiety
This study is exploring whether online, self-guided programs can help parents of children aged 2-7 years manage their child's anxiety. We are testing three different programs: Project EMPOWER, Being Brave Parent Education, and Sharing Feelings. Parents will be randomly assigned to one of these programs. The main goal is to see how much a child's anxiety-related behaviors change over an 8-month period, as reported by parents using a special scale (Pediatric Accommodation Scale). You may be able to join if you are an English-speaking parent over 18, and your child is between 2 and 7 years old and shows elevated anxiety on a screening test. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

What this trial measures
- Change in Pediatric Accommodation Scale, Parent-ReportChange over 8-month follow-up (Baseline to 1-month, 4-month, and 8-month follow-up)
The Pediatric Accommodation Scale is a parent-report of accommodation of their offspring's anxiety. Parents are asked to rate, on a 5-point scale from 0 (never) to 5 (always), the extent to which they accommodate their child's anxiety or avoidance behaviors. Total scores range from 0 to 25, with higher scores reflecting greater parental accommodation. Parents will report on their accommodation behaviors at baseline , 1-, 4-, and 8-months.
