A meta-analysis to guide the enhancement of CBT for childhood anxiety: exposure over anxiety management.
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the most empirically supported therapy for childhood anxiety disorders (CADs) but has not reliably outperformed other credible interventions. The current study used meta-analysis to examine the frequency with which the most common treatment components are included in outcome studies and the relation of these components to symptom improvement.

Benchmarking treatment effectiveness of community-delivered trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy.
The objectives of the current study are to (a) evaluate the effectiveness of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) delivered from 2013 to 2016 in 15 behavioral health agencies on youth PTSD as well as general mental health symptoms and functioning, and (b) benchmark these clinical outcomes against other published efficacy and effectiveness trials. This study is the first benchmarking study of TF-CBT and provides preliminary findings with regard to the effectiveness, and transportability, of TF-CBT to urban community settings that serve youth in poverty.

Nonpharmacologic treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a systematic review.
The authors assessed the comparative effectiveness of non-pharmacologic treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among individuals 17 years of age and younger. Non-pharmacologic treatments they identified included neurofeedback, cognitive training, cognitive behavioral therapy, child or parent training, dietary omega fatty acid supplementation, and herbal and/or dietary approaches. They identified no new guidance regarding the comparative effectiveness of non-pharmacologic treatments, concluding that, despite wide use, there are significant gaps in knowledge regarding the effectiveness of ADHD non-pharmacologic treatments.
