Strategies to Treat Anxiety Research Study (STARS)
Anxiety is the most common adult mental health condition. However, access to treatment is often limited by lack of providers, expense, or long waitlists. This study will begin to address the above problem in two phases by developing and testing a brief intervention for anxiety delivered by trained non-specialist providers. This project is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences through the Nevada INBRE.
