Anxiety disorders are prevalent and disabling and despite the fact that effective interventions are available, many people do not access effective treatment. Clinician decisions are fundamental determinants of access to this treatment. Despite this, treatment decisions have never been examined specifically in this group and are rarely examined in outpatient settings. The present study assessed 550 consecutive referrals to an anxiety disorders clinic in Sydney, Australia. Logistic regression was used to examine the predictors of decisions about treatment. Clinical patient variables (diagnosis and disability) were the strongest predictors of an offer of treatment but demographics and resource availability were also significant. Some of the same factors have been shown to influence the decision to seek treatment for anxiety. Both help-seeking behavior and treatment decision making are important determinants of access to care and both should be examined in future studies.
