Summary

This trial will test whether a comprehensive intervention can prevent severe conduct problems in high-risk children.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for first graders in public schools at 4 study sites, identified as high-risk for severe conduct problems. Children must score in the top 40% on the TOCA-R assessment. Those older than first grade are not eligible.

What is being tested?

The 'Fast Track' program aims to prevent chronic conduct issues among high-risk children. It will be tested if this intervention positively impacts behavior and prevents negative outcomes like delinquency or school dropout.

What are the potential side effects?

Since 'Fast Track' is a behavioral intervention rather than a medication, it may not have typical medical side effects but could include changes in mood or behavior as children adapt to the program.
