Additional Details:
The study aims to recruit 150 individuals, 12 to 14 years of age, with high levels of anxiety as reported by the parents’ online form of the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders questionnaire. This trial contrasts a child-friendly, “action-like†video game designed to improve attentional control abilities in a progressive and stepwise manner (Eco-Rescue) with a casual puzzle video game selected to act as a positive distraction tool (Bejeweled).
