Nicholas Todd, under the supervision of Professor Charlie Lewis, is conducting a research study looking at parental descriptions of their interactions with their children. If you: · have a self-referred or diagnosed anxiety disorder · are the parents of a child between 3 and 9 years old, and · would be prepared to answer a few short questions we would really like you to take part in our study. We are particularly keen to involve resident or involved fathers as well as mothers in this study. Fathers have often been neglected from this type of research for no good reason. Taking part in this study will give you the opportunity to contribute to research which may help the better understanding of the development of anxiety in childhood, which in turn may contribute to the development of parental interventions. You can participate face to face, over the phone and on the internet. The data obtained from these questionnaires will be used to answer my research question and you will be completely anonymous throughout the whole process. In fact your name will never be taken. This study has had full approval from the Lancaster University Ethics Committee. The study end date is the 3rd of October 2008.
