Designed around a two-arm, individually randomised study with one index child per family. Other designs need additional planning.

Take it into your protocol
Export an editable plan and use the supporting templates.
Open the teaching project, inspect its two outcomes, then download the filled Word and Excel files. Start a blank project for your own study.
Explore the example →The toolkit has not yet been evaluated with independent research teams. It organises planning decisions; it does not select a validated scale or certify research quality.

Resolve the decisions listed below before incorporating this into a study protocol. Exporting a draft preserves its open questions.
Record the decision status
A recorded decision can still need scientific review. Keep unresolved evidence and permissions open.

A toolkit you can use.
Download individual files or take the complete versioned package.
Follow the research steps, explore six candidate measures, then record the evidence and permissions for your study.
Markdown files are editable text. CSV files open in spreadsheet software. JSON preserves structured planning fields. Third-party questionnaires are not included.
A filled project,
ready to explore.
Two fictional outcomes, a protocol, analysis plan, schedule and 16 assessment records. The illustrative scores are not instruments for use with families.
Impact of child anxiety
on daily life
A fictional two-arm study compares online modules with weekly practitioner calls against locally documented usual care. The primary follow-up is 12 weeks after randomisation.
- Information source
- Parent who knows the assigned group
- Rater / calculation
- Parent makes ratings; software performs arithmetic
- Second outcome
- Parent confidence; a separate construct and record
- Assistance
- Technical access help; record any additional assistance
| Child | Group | Status | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| C01 | Digital | Observed | 0 |
| C02 | Digital | Missing | — |
| C03 | Comparison | Partial | — |
| C04 | Comparison | Observed | 9 |
A zero is a value.
Missing and unscorable responses retain a row, with an empty score and a reason. They do not become zero or disappear from the expected-assessment roster.
The score is fictional. It is not a validated instrument and must not be administered to families.
