This project plans to develop, an evidence- and consensus-based COS for pediatric anxiety disorder trials with active engagement of youth and family members and other stakeholders. We will identify outcomes used in the literature and engage with youth and family through virtual workshops, to understand what they view as important outcomes. With a list of outcomes, we will use a consensus process to help us develop decisions on what to measure across future trials.
Between October 2018 and March 2020, the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) convened an international working group of 27 experts by profession or lived experience from 13 countries to develop a standard set of outcomes for child and youth anxiety, depression, OCD and PTSD.
