Overview Worry and anxiety are common problems for older adults, affecting sleep and overall quality of life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and yoga have been studied in clinical trials and observational studies. However, those interventions were either studied separately or as a combined treatment.

Identify at least three negative effects of late-life worry and anxiety.
Describe two nonpharmacological interventions for late-life worry and anxiety.
Identify the three types of effects that are tested with a randomized preference design.
