NASN Resources
NASN continues as a member of a development workgroup focused on refining an intervention for school nurses to use to reduce student anxiety called CALM – Child Anxiety Learning Modules. This work is being lead by the University of Connecticut Health Center and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and funded by the Department of Education’s Institute of Educational Sciences. The project is approaching the end of its second year. It is currently in the randomized control trial phase, comparing CALM to relaxation. The resources being developed will support evidence-based practice related to childhood anxiety. (Updated 09/07/2016)
