Adaptation and feasibility piloting of a parent-led CBT intervention for youth with anxiety in Czechia.
Article in Implementation science communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMental health issues in children, particularly anxiety, are a major global concern, with the prevalence of these disorders in Czechia mirroring global trends. While parent-led cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown promise in addressing anxiety with benefits like reduced therapist involvement, cost-effectiveness, and long-term sustainability, such programs are scarce in Czechia.
methodsThis study aimed to adapt a Parent-led CBT program from the University of Oxford for the Czech context using complementary frameworks and guides for the process of adaptation to ensure its feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability. Using mixed-methods methodology, we adapted and piloted a parent-led CBT intervention for children with anxiety in Czechia. Adaptations were guided by ADAPT, ToC, CFIR, and TIDieR frameworks to ensure relevant local adaptations. A formative phase included three workshops and 50 semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders to identify barriers, facilitators, and implementation context and needs. Feasibility piloting involved 12 parents, with quantitative outcomes collected via standardized measures and qualitative feedback from interviews and a focus group discussion (FGD) thematically analyzed to inform further implementation adaptations.
resultsThe adapted intervention is described having been piloted with Czech parents, yielding promising results: significant reductions in child anxiety, high attendance rates, and positive feedback. This study demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted parent-led CBT program for children with anxieties in Czechia.
conclusionsGuided by ToC and CFIR, adaptations balanced the evidence-based original intervention with culturally and contextually important adaptations to increase future implementation success. Further research should assess effectiveness and implementation fidelity to inform sustainable uptake and integration in the Czech mental health system.
