Little is known about the durability of gains beyond 1 year following treatment in real-life clinical settings. Literature regarding the impact of aftercare programs as an adjunct to CBGT treatment on SAD is scarce.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1352465819000079_as2\"><jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title><jats:p>To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of CBGT for SAD in a community sample and to explore the relationship between long-term treatment outcomes and aftercare support group attendance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1352465819000079_as3\"><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p>A longitudinal cohort design evaluated changes in standardized psychological measures assessing aspects of SAD, anxiety and depression.
