Villabø, M., Narayanan, M., Compton, S., Kendall, P., & Neumer, S. (2018). Cognitive–behavioral therapy for youth anxiety: An effectiveness evaluation in community practice. Journal Of Consulting And Clinical Psychology, 86(9), 751-764. doi: 10.1037/ccp0000326
The main objective of the article was to investigate the main ways to cure cognitive anxiety disorders among the teens and youth using a various new type of medication invented. Through a comprehensive study, the authors are trying to establish a strength comparison between three types of medication, the ICBT, GCBT and the Wait List (WL).
According to the authors, the research was very necessary to prove to the medical practitioners that medical studies performed are relevant to all groups of patients and that tested medication could be used on patients with similar disorders (Villabø, Narayanan, Compton, Kendall & Neumer, 2018). The study conducted was to research on whether community-based therapy would be effective for youth patient with anxiety disorder.
For the research to be well conducted, the author asked a group of volunteer patients with anxiety disorder to join the program and see if any of the recommended ways of medication would work on the patients. The participants responded well to all the medication, but according to the authors, the ICBT and GCBT proved to work better as a therapy method as indicated by the children, parents, and therapists who answered the questionnaire.

They responded similarly to efficacy trials.
The goal of the research was fully accomplished as the therapy worked after the estimated duration of 12 weeks with constant follow-ups on the methodologies suggested. As compared to other articles this research was conducted on a large number of patient collecting data from different groups involved making it quite easy to establish a satisfactory rate for the study. The objectives were archived, and it was concluded that the therapy could be done on both individuals and groups.There were challenges in ways which the data was fully collected. It is observed that the author presented data which was not genuinely actual but regenerated through multiple imputation methods. It is thus difficult to ascertain the completeness of the outcome.
