A New Approach to Research - Youth Anxiety Center

In the summer of 2013, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in association with its medical school affiliates, Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, created the Youth Anxiety Center to provide highly specialized care for older adolescents and young adults who experience severe, disruptive anxiety conditions, while also conducting cutting edge and novel research into the causes and treatment of anxiety and its impact on youth. Co-Research Directors Dr. Helen Blaire Simpson and Dr. Francis Lee discuss the Youth Anxiety Center research initiative in more detail.
