Research

Anne Marie Albano's research focuses on anxiety and mood disorders.[1] She aims to raise awareness about the importance of children's mental health and how positive mental health is essential to a child's healthy development.[19] With the support of David Shaffer, MD, FRCP, then Chairman of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Albano founded the Columbia University Clinic for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CUCARD),[20] an evidence-based treatment clinic that provide cognitive behavioral therapy for patients with anxiety and mood disorders.[21] Albano was the primary investigator for two National Institute of Mental Health funded clinical studies, The Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Study (CAMS) and the Treatments for Adolescents with Depression Study (TADS), that examined the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, and the combination of both for treating children and adolescents with anxiety and related disorders. At CUCARD, Albano's team, led by then postdoctoral fellows Jonathan S. Comer and Anthony C. Puliafico, developed "CALM: Coaching Approach Behavior and Leading through Modeling" for families with children between ages 3 to 8 to help children overcome situations that causes them distress. Another treatment that Albano and her team developed is "LEAP: Launching Emerging Adults Program" which focuses on helping individuals overcome anxiety during the transition to adulthood.[20][22]
