Abstract：
Rates of clinical anxiety have increased during COVID and post-quarantine in youth, with older adolescent girls and youth with minorized racial, gender, and sexuality identities most vulnerable. Given that increased anxiety to a threatening/uncertain environment is adaptive, it is important to conceptualize anxiety from a balanced perspective, evaluating its functionality. For adolescents continuing to struggle with re-integration into their social environments and school avoidance, an exposure framework is necessary to encourage approach behaviors to recalibrate the social environment as safe. Disproportion between demand for services and available providers increased greatly due to the pandemic. Evidence-based treatments for anxiety can be delivered via telehealth, in school, or in primary care settings.

青少年在COVID和隔离后的临床焦虑症发生率有所增加，年龄较大的青春期女孩和少数民族青年，性别,和性身份最脆弱。鉴于对威胁/不确定环境的焦虑增加是适应性的，从平衡的角度来概念化焦虑是很重要的，评估其功能。对于继续努力重新融入社会环境和避免上学的青少年，一个暴露框架是必要的，以鼓励接近行为，以重新校准社会环境是安全的。由于大流行，对服务的需求与可用提供商之间的不比例大大增加。焦虑症的循证治疗可以通过远程医疗提供，在学校,或在初级保健环境中。
