Identifying and supporting children who experience anxiety problems through schools would address substantial treatment access barriers that families and school staff often face. We have worked with families and school staff to co-design procedures that incorporate screening, feedback for parents, and the offer of a brief intervention in primary schools. This study sets out to assess the feasibility of a subsequent school-based cluster randomised controlled trial to evaluate these procedures. Our objectives are to ensure our procedures for identifying and supporting children with anxiety difficulties through primary schools are acceptable and therePilot and feasibility studiesIdentifying Child Anxiety Through Schools-identification to intervention (iCATS-i2i): protocol for single-arm feasibility trial.PMC9363860RP-PG-0218-20010Sancho MPollard JFord TDay EWilliams CReardon TUkoumunne OCMacdonald IHill CLarkin MViolato MKing TStallard PWilliamson VStainer JMorgan FCreswell CBreen MJasper BGreen IBrown PSpence SHSniehotta FFGray ABall SfalseIdentifying Child Anxiety Through Schools-identification to intervention (iCATS-i2i): protocol for single-arm feasibility trial.<h4>Background</h4>Anxiety disorders are common among primary-school aged children, but few affected children receive evidence-based treatment.
