STAR-CAT Study

Welcome to the Twitter/X account for the STAR-CAT Study! 👋 We are investigating the effectiveness of an online parent-led intervention (OSI-A), adapted for autistic children with anxiety problems 💻 Follow us to find out more and for updates about the study! 📢

@3mmaBrooks @OxChildPsych @EARAdolescence Well done Emma, great work! 👏

It was a fantastic to present @OxChildPsych AADAPT study as part of a symposium about enhancing availability, accessibility & acceptability of mental health support for adolescents at #EARA2024 @EARAdolescence conference in Cyprus! 🇨🇾

@LucyMHEducation @topic_group That would be great! Do get in touch - starcat@psy.ox.ac.uk🙂

@topic_group @STARCAT_Study I would love to see if our team could get involved to support this!

This work underpinned our adapted online programme to address anxiety problems among autistic children. We are very excited to be starting the @STARCAT_Study to evaluate it very soon. If you are in a clinical team that might like to be involved do get in touch!

We are so delighted to be working with @inspiredfilm @northstaffsaaa @bitjam to create a new version of OSI to meet the needs of autistic children and their patents/carers. Huge thanks to all the actors and the crew! We can't wait to start using it within the @STARCAT_Study.

📢 We'll be holding a Launch Event for the STAR-CAT study in a couple of weeks! We're looking forward to sharing more about the study and giving a sneak preview of the new intervention 👀

Four internet-based therapies developed by experts at @OxExpPsy and @OxPsychiatry are proving helpful for patients with social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorders and for children with anxiety disorders. More info ⬇️ ox.ac.uk/news/2024-07-3…

It's been a great week at the @BABCP conference in Manchester, and brilliant to see lots of OSI research being presented! #BABCP2024 Featuring work from @GrowsOSI, @CoCAT_Study and @MYCATS_Study 🐱 📊

Fantastic to see lots of people at our Introductory Event earlier in the week - thank you for coming! We're hoping to hold a similar event in September for anyone who couldn't make it 😺

We're excited to be holding an Introductory Event next week for the STAR-CAT study! If you work in a service that offers anxiety treatment to autistic children and their families, come along to learn more about getting involved in the trial. Contact us for the sign up link💻

Great to see @Cathy_Creswell mention the STAR-CAT study during this afternoon's Clinical Spotlight from the @wolfsoncentre - get in touch if you're interested in finding out more!

Thanks so much to those who came to our symposium this morning at ##ISRII12! It was exciting to briefly introduce the STAR-CAT study after talking about the @CoCAT_Study and @GrowsOsi projects 🐱

Some of the STAR-CAT team are at #ISRII12 with colleagues from @GrowsOsi! It's been a great day of attending talks and exploring Limerick 🇮🇪 If you're also attending @TheISRII, join us for our symposium tomorrow morning to hear about parent-led interventions and all things OSI!
