Pediatric anxiety and depression are prevalent, impairing, and highly comorbid. Available evidence-based treatments have an average response rate of 60%. One path to increasing response may be to identify likely non-responders midway through treatment to adjust course prior to completing an episode of care. The aims of this study, thus, were to identify predictors of post-intervention response assessing (a) mid-treatment symptom severity, (b) session-by-session treatment process factors, and (c) a model optimizing the combination of these.
