A randomized controlled trial (RCT) of telephone-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) was compared with usual care for late-life anxiety disorders. Client satisfaction, as assessed by the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, was high (M = 27.4, range 8-32), and attrition rates were low (8.3%). Preliminary results suggest that participants receiving CBT, compared with usual care, experience declines in general anxiety, worry, anxiety sensitivity, and insomnia.
