A team of researchers is investigating the effectiveness of a new cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) program delivered via telehealth for managing social anxiety in adolescents living in rural areas. Due to limited resources and accessibility, the researchers plan to use a waitlist control group, where participants in the control group will receive the CBT program after the initial treatment period. The study involves assessing participants’ anxiety levels using self-report questionnaires and structured clinical interviews at baseline, post-treatment, and at a 3-month follow-up.
b. Evaluate the procedures the researchers should implement to ensure the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence are upheld throughout the study.

Students explore the concept of mental wellbeing, including social and emotional wellbeing as a multidimensional and holistic framework. They apply a biopsychosocial approach to specific phobia, exploring how biological, psychological and social factors are involved in its development and management. A student-designed scientific investigation involving the generation of primary data related to mental processes and mental wellbeing is undertaken in either Unit 3 or Unit 4 or across both Units 3 and 4, and is assessed in Outcome 3 of this unit.
