Preliminary data are presented on the effectiveness of a universal school - based intervention for the prevention of anxiety symptoms in primary school children. A sample of 489 children (aged 10 - 12 years) were assigned to one of three intervention conditions : a psychologist - led preventive intervention, a teacher - led preventive intervention, or a usual care (standard curriculum) with monitoring condition. The intervention offered was the Friends for Children programme, a 12 - session cognitive - behavioural intervention, originally based upon Kendall's (1994) Coping Cat programme. Participants in both intervention conditions reported fewer symptoms of anxiety at post - intervention than participants in the usual care condition. These preliminary results suggest that universal programmes for childhood anxiety are promising intervention strategies that can be successfully delivered to a school - based population and integrated into the classroom curriculum.
