School-Age Group (6 - 11 years)

300 children with CF and their parents will be recruited. Includes school-aged children who can self-report their emotional and behavioral health, beginning at age 8 years.

This group will be assessed for emerging mental health symptoms, cognitive development, and procedural anxiety related to CF treatments.
