Abstract
This study explores effective outcomes of a social worker-delivered, culturally adapted school-based cognitive-behaviour group to improve anxiety symptoms among primary school children in Hong Kong. Pre- and post- scores of the intervention groups were compared with waiting-list control groups using repeated measures ANOVA. A statistically significant reduction in anxiety level was evident in the treatment groups compared with the control groups. This article concludes by identifying policy and practice measures that could reduce anxiety and improve the lives of primary school children in Hong Kong.
