Anxiety is a prevalent mental disorder globally. According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey, 29.2% of Malaysians aged 16 and above suffer from mental health problems. Consequently, anxiety cases continue to rise annually. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the MA-CBTH Module (Manage Anxiety Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Healing) in addressing anxiety among form four school students. A pure experimental quantitative methodology was employed, involving a questionnaire administered to 332 students aged 16 in two schools in Perak. From these, 99 students with moderate to high anxiety levels were selected using simple random sampling and divided into three groups: a small treatment group (n = 33), a large treatment group, and a control group (n = 33), which received no treatment. Data were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 27.0, employing MANCOVA to identify significant differences between pre-test and post-test mean scores. The DASS-21 Inventory (Depression Anxiety Stress Scales) was used to measure anxiety levels. Results indicated that anxiety scores in both the small and large treatment groups decreased compared to the control group in both schools. The study concludes that the MA-CBTH Module is a significant intervention for managing anxiety among high school students.
