Plain-language summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of a 2-month group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention compared to a structured psychoeducational treatment as usual (TAU) in adolescents diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. Participants aged 12 to 17 years will be recruited from the Child and Adolescent Neuropsychiatry Day Hospital at Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital (Rome, Italy). The primary objective is to assess the reduction of social anxiety symptoms following the CBT intervention compared to TAU. Secondary objectives include improvement in global functioning, interpersonal relationships, emotional regulation, and reduction of social withdrawal. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-treatment (2 months), and 1-month follow-up.
