Guided by Proctor et al.\u2019s implementation framework, this study explored children and adolescents\u2019 experiences of the BRAVE Stepped-Care programme including perceived acceptability and appropriateness of the early, mid-intervention stepped-care model, helpful and challenging aspects of treatment, experiences being stepped-up (or not stepped up) to therapist-support, and, for those stepped-up, perceptions of clinician support and support modality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 clinically anxious young people (aged 9-16 years) who participated in the BRAVE Stepped-Care ICBT programme.
