ADAA
The Child and Adolescent SIG creates a place for clinicians and researchers to discuss, debate, and address issues relevant to the understanding and treatment of childhood anxiety and mood disorders. The group promotes networking between clinicians and researchers and helps combat isolation for therapists in private practice. The SIG offers opportunities for learning and connection between the annual conferences through online communication and continuing education.
Chair: Ruth Lippin, LCSW, JD
Ruth Lippin, LCSW, JD is a cognitive behavioral therapist who has had a private practice in New York City for the past 20+ years specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders where she works with children, adolescents and adults. A graduate of Columbia University School of Social Work, she was trained in cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders at The Anxiety Phobia Treatment Center at White Plains Hospital. Early on she made her professional home the ADAA. Through her active involvement with the ADAA she has made sustaining professional relationships and is always privy to the latest research and evidence-based treatments available to her clients. Ms. Lippin has been on numerous ADAA committees. Currently, she is the co-chair of the ADAA Child & Adolescent SIG and is also working on an ADAA based project to promote awareness among pediatricians of anxiety and related disorders and the evidence-based treatments available to their patients. She is the recipient of the ADAA's 2012 Clinician's Outreach Award. Ms. Lippin's commitment to ensuring that people suffering from anxiety disorders receive evidence-based treatments, propelled her, along with ADAA members, Kimberly Morrow and Elizabeth Dupont Spencer, to create a twelve part online video to train clinicians in cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure and response prevention. Ms. Lippin is also a member of the New York City Cognitive Behavioral Association and the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
When I began my career as a CBT therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders, I was lucky enough to learn about ADAA through a colleague of mine. ADAA has consistently provided me with access to the latest research and evidence based treatments for anxiety and related disorders. As I became more involved in working with children and adolescents, ADAA's Child & Adolescent SIG was a perfect group for me. It allowed me to continue to hone my skills, meet colleagues that were also working with children and gave me a forum to support my efforts to make sure all children suffering from anxiety disorders receive evidence based treatments.
Chair: Krystal Lewis, PhD
Krystal M. Lewis, Ph.D is a Clinical Psychologist at the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH), where she provides cognitive behavioral therapy to anxious youth participating in neuroimaging research within the Section on Development and Affective Neuroscience, led by Dr. Daniel Pine. She received her Ph.D from Virginia Tech, where she was mentored by Dr. Thomas Ollendick and transitioned to Chicago where she completed her internship and fellowship at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Dr. Lewis also works in private practice in Chevy Chase, MD and specializes in the treatment of anxiety.
I have been a member of ADAA since 2008. Since that time, I have been actively involved with the organization in various capacities (conference attendee, presenter, awardee, SIG chair). I plan to stay involved with ADAA because I strongly agree with the mission and identify ADAA as my professional home. The Child and Adolescent Anxiety SIG offers opportunities to connect with others who are interested in providing the best clinical care to youth by staying up to date with the latest research and having discussions on the best ways to integrate this research into clinical care. The peer consultations we host each month are also a great way to stay connected to early career and experienced clinicians across the country and discuss evidenced based treatment techniques for challenging cases.
Chair: Liza Bonin, PhD
Dr. Liza Bonin is a clinical psychologist at Texas Children's Hospital who specializes in pediatric health anxiety and OCD. She is Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and the Training Director for the Texas Children's Hospital Psychology Internship. Over the course of her tenure at Baylor and Texas Children's, Dr. Bonin has been actively involved in program development and administration; these activities led her to become a passionate advocate for quality in healthcare.
I joined ADAA to advance my clinical practice skills and have the opportunity to partner with like-minded professionals who are committed to improving the quality of their work. My role in the Child and Adolescent SIG has fulfilled that important goal and allowed me to meet a great group of colleagues with much passion for their work and clinical expertise.
Chair: Julia Martin Burch, MA
Julia Martin Burch, PhD is a post-doctoral fellow at McLean Hospital. At McLean, Julia is a clinician in the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program (MAMP), an intensive group-based outpatient service for youth with severe anxiety, obsessive compulsive, and related disorders. Julia also works in the McLean 3East Adolescent DBT service and the McLean School Consultation Service, through which she and colleagues provide training and consultation in evidence based treatments to public school districts around Massachusetts. Julia completed her internship at Massachusetts General Hospital (child track) and her graduate training in clinical psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Following post-doc, Julia plans to continue her work with anxious youth at MAMP as well as to develop a research program within the McLean School Consultation Service.
A mentor encouraged me to join ADAA in the summer of 2016 given my interest in child anxiety. I joined the Child and Adolescent SIG at the same time to find a home within the organization. I was immediately impressed by the resources offered by the SIG and was very excited to take on a leadership position in the SIG last winter. Participating in the SIG (particularly the monthly consultations) has allowed me to meet and consult with incredibly talented clinicians and researchers and to collaborate with other SIG members who are passionate about disseminating evidence based treatments for youth.

PCORI — New Funding Announcement
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) will be releasing a new funding announcement titled, "Pragmatic Clinical Studies to Evaluate Patient-Centered Outcomes." The goal of this announcement is to fund pragmatic clinical trials, large simple trials, or large-scale observational studies that compare the relative effectiveness of two or more alternatives for improving patient-centered outcomes. While any study that addresses critical choices faced by patients, their caregivers, clinicians, and/or delivery systems will be considered, PCORI's multi-stakeholder panels have identified 16 high-priority topics and research questions. PCORI will give first consideration to applications that directly address one or more of the 16 PCORI Priority Topics.
Please note that for this cycle, PCORI has added a priority topic on Anxiety Disorders in Children, Adolescents, and/or Young Adults to the list. PCORI has funds available up to $90 million for studies in response to the current cycle of the PCS funding announcement, including any studies for the PCORI priority topics.
The mission of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is to improve the quality and relevance of evidence available to help patients, caregivers, clinicians, employers, insurers, and policy makers make informed health decisions. We invite you to review this new funding announcement and share this information with others who may be interested.
The pre-announcement is available here.

Swedish researchers have found that believing in the value of antidepressant medication appears to influence their benefits. Experts believe the findings suggest that the way in which the treatment is described to the patient can be as important as the treatment itself. Moreover, the discovery may help to explain why selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors work for some individuals but not for others.
