2.1 utility of assessing development and incorporating novel technologies in the treatment of young adults with anxiety disorders

Anxiety disorders in college-age young adults (YAs) are highly disabling and associated with increased risk for comorbidity and long-term dependencies.

The Launching Emerging Adults Program (LEAP) aims to improve prescriptive cognitive-behavioral treatment by targeting specific symptoms and impairments through contextually based methods.
