    4 Evidence generation recommendations

    4.1 The committee recommended further evidence generation for children and young people with mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety or low mood. Specific subgroups that also need further evidence generation include:

    • Neurodivergent children and young people

    • Children and young people with low mood only.

    The key outcomes that were prioritised by the committee for evidence generation include:

    • Symptom severity: revised child anxiety and depression scale (parent-reported for children and self-reported for young people)

    • Impairment measures: child anxiety impact scale and strength and difficulties questionnaire

    • Health-related quality of life: CHU-9D

    • Level of engagement including attrition

    • Reasons and rates of drop out.
