Pediatric diabetes is linked with adverse medical outcomes, the risks of which increase poor or intermittent adherence (Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Research Group, 1994). Further, during adolescence, management tends to deteriorate (Anderson & Laffel, 1996; Bryden et al., 2001; Insabella, Grey, Knafl, Tamborlane, 2007; La Greca, Follansbee, Skyler, 1990).

Selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are both effective treatments for generalized disorder (GAD) older adults. On the other hand, there very little research examining effect of combining these therapies on peak levels. For current analyses, we examined...
