Given the association of PLEs with a broad number of mental health diagnoses, these experiences serve as an important malleable target for early preventive interventions. However, little is known about these experiences across childhood. While these experiences may be common, longitudinal measurement in non-clinical settings is not. Therefore, in order to explore longitudinal trajectories of PLEs in childhood, we harmonized three school-based randomized control trials with longitudinal follow-up to identify heterogeneity in trajectories of these experiences. In an integrative data analysis (IDA) using growth mixture modeling, we identified three latent trajectory classes. One trajectory class was characterized by persistent PLEs, one was characterized by high initial probabilities but improving across the analytic period, and one was characterized by no reports of PLEs. Compared to the class without PLEs, those in the improving class were more likely to be male and have higher levels of aggressive and disruptive behavior at baseline. In addition to the substantive impact this work has on PLE research, we also discuss the methodological innovation as it relates to IDA. This IDA demonstrates the complexity of pooling data across multiple studies to estimate longitudinal mixture models.}, Doi = {10.1007/s11121-023-01581-7}, Key = {fds374396} } @article{fds370877, Author = {Sheppard, CS and Peairs, KF and Prinstein, MJ and Putallaz, M and Kupersmidt, JB and Coie, JD}, Title = {The Importance of Context for Multi-informant Assessment of Peer Victimization}, Journal = {Merrill-Palmer Quarterly}, Volume = {68}, Number = {3}, Pages = {241-265}, Year = {2022}, Month = {July}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1353/mpq.2022.0012}, Abstract = {Peer victimization has been assessed by using various methods, with little attention to methodological variance.

Results underscored the importance of context: (1) Victimization reported by informants in the same context (i.e., teachers and peers in school setting, and peers and observers in playgroup setting) correlated more strongly than with self-reported victimization. (2) Informant ratings of victimization made within similar contexts (school and afterschool playgroups) showed higher agreement than those made in different contexts (school vs. playgroups) even if the same reporter was used across both contexts (peer report in schools and peer report in playgroups). (3) Teacher-reported victimization was more strongly associated with objective academic outcomes than were peer-, self-, or observer-reported victimization, due to the shared academic context.}, Doi = {10.1353/mpq.2022.0012}, Key = {fds370877} } @article{fds354757, Author = {Lansford, JE and Godwin, J and McMahon, RJ and Crowley, M and Pettit, GS and Bates, JE and Coie, JD and Dodge, KA}, Title = {Early Physical Abuse and Adult Outcomes.}, Journal = {Pediatrics}, Volume = {147}, Number = {1}, Pages = {e20200873}, Year = {2021}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1542/peds.2020-0873}, Abstract = {<h4>Background</h4>Because most physical abuse goes unreported and researchers largely rely on retrospective reports of childhood abuse or prospective samples with substantiated maltreatment, long-term outcomes of physical abuse in US community samples are unknown. We hypothesized that early childhood physical abuse would prospectively predict adult outcomes in education and economic stability, physical health, mental health, substance use, and criminal behavior.<h4>Methods</h4>Researchers in two multisite studies recruited children at kindergarten entry and followed them into adulthood. Parents completed interviews about responses to the child's problem behaviors during the kindergarten interview. Interviewers rated the probability that the child was physically abused in the first 5 years of life. Adult outcomes were measured by using 23 indicators of education and economic stability, physical health, mental health, substance use, and criminal convictions reported by participants and their peers and in school and court records.<h4>Results</h4>Controlling for potential confounds, relative to participants who were not physically abused, adults who had been abused were more likely to have received special education services, repeated a grade, be receiving government assistance, score in the clinical range on externalizing or internalizing disorders, and have been convicted of a crime in the past year (3.20, 2.14, 2.00, 2.42, 2.10, and 2.61 times more likely, respectively) and reported levels of physical health that were 0.10 SDs lower. No differences were found in substance use.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Unreported physical abuse in community samples has long-term detrimental effects into adulthood. Pediatricians should talk with parents about using only nonviolent discipline and support early interventions to prevent child abuse.}, Doi = {10.1542/peds.2020-0873}, Key = {fds354757} } @article{fds339299, Author = {Kassing, F and Godwin, J and Lochman, JE and Coie, JD and Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group}, Title = {Using Early Childhood Behavior Problems to Predict Adult Convictions.}, Journal = {Journal of abnormal child psychology}, Volume = {47}, Number = {5}, Pages = {765-778}, Year = {2019}, Month = {May}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10802-018-0478-7}, Abstract = {The current study examined whether teacher and parent ratings of externalizing behavior during kindergarten and 1st grade accurately predicted the presence of adult convictions by age 25. Data were collected as part of the Fast Track Project. Schools were identified based on poverty and crime rates in four locations: Durham, NC, Nashville, TN, Seattle, WA, and rural, central PA. Teacher and parent screening measures of externalizing behavior were collected at the end of kindergarten and 1st grade. ROC curves were used to visually depict the tradeoff between sensitivity and specificity and best model fit was determined. Five of the six combinations of screen scores across time points and raters met both the specificity and sensitivity cutoffs for a well-performing screening tool. When data were examined within each site separately, screen scores performed better in sites with high base rates and models including single teacher screens accurately predicted convictions. Similarly, screen scores performed better and could be used more parsimoniously for males, but not females (whose base rates were lower in this sample). Overall, results indicated that early elementary screens for conduct problems perform remarkably well when predicting criminal convictions 20 years later. However, because of variations in base rates, screens operated differently by gender and location. The results indicated that for populations with high base rates, convictions can be accurately predicted with as little as one teacher screen taken during kindergarten or 1st grade, increasing the cost-effectiveness of preventative interventions.}, Doi = {10.1007/s10802-018-0478-7}, Key = {fds339299} } @article{fds334888, Author = {Zheng, Y and Albert, D and McMahon, RJ and Dodge, K and Dick, D and Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group}, Title = {Glucocorticoid Receptor (NR3C1) Gene Polymorphism Moderate Intervention Effects on the Developmental Trajectory of African-American Adolescent Alcohol Abuse.}, Journal = {Prevention science : the official journal of the Society for Prevention Research}, Volume = {19}, Number = {1}, Pages = {79-89}, Year = {2018}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11121-016-0726-4}, Abstract = {Accumulative evidence from recent genotype × intervention studies suggests that individuals carrying susceptible genotypes benefit more from intervention and provides one avenue to identify subgroups that respond differentially to intervention. This study examined the moderation by glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1) gene variants of intervention effects on the developmental trajectories of alcohol abuse through adolescence. Participants were randomized into Fast Track intervention and control groups self-reported past-year alcohol abuse annually from grade 7 through 2 years post-high school and provided genotype data at age 21 (69% males; European Americans [EAs] = 270, African-Americans [AAs] = 282). Latent growth curve models were fit to examine developmental trajectories of alcohol abuse. The interactions of 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in NR3C1 with intervention were examined separately. Both EAs and AAs showed significant increases in past-year alcohol abuse with substantial inter-individual differences in rates of linear growth. AAs showed lower general levels and slower rates of linear growth than EAs. Adjusting for multiple tests, one NR3C1 SNP (rs12655166) significantly moderated intervention effects on the developmental trajectories of alcohol abuse among AAs. Intervention effects on the rates of linear growth were stronger among AAs carrying minor alleles than those not carrying minor alleles. The findings highlight the importance of taking a developmental perspective on adolescent alcohol use and have implications for future intervention design and evaluation by identifying subgroups that could disproportionally benefit from intervention.}, Doi = {10.1007/s11121-016-0726-4}, Key = {fds334888} } @article{fds334889, Author = {Sorensen, LC and Dodge, KA and Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group}, Title = {How does the Fast Track intervention prevent adverse outcomes in young adulthood?}, Journal = {Child Development}, Volume = {87}, Number = {2}, Pages = {429-445}, Publisher = {Wiley: 24 months}, Year = {2016}, Month = {March}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/cdev.12467}, Abstract = {Numerous studies have shown that childhood interventions can foster improved outcomes in adulthood.

A decomposition of treatment effects indicates that about a third of Fast Track’s impact on later crime outcomes can be accounted for by improvements in social and self-regulation skills during childhood (ages 6-11), such as prosocial behavior, emotion regulation and problem solving.

A total of 891 (91%) consented (51% African American, 47% European American; 69% boys). Children were randomly assigned by school cluster to a 10-year intervention or control. The intervention goal was to develop social competencies in children that would carry them throughout life, through social skills training, parent behavior-management training with home visiting, peer coaching, reading tutoring, and classroom social-emotional curricula. Manualization and supervision ensured program fidelity. Ninety-eight percent participated during grade 1, and 80% continued through grade 10. At age 25, arrest records were reviewed (N=817, 92%), and condition-blinded adults psychiatrically interviewed participants (N=702; 81% of living participants) and a peer (N=535) knowledgeable about the participant.<h4>Results</h4>Intent-to-treat logistic regression analyses indicated that 69% of participants in the control arm displayed at least one externalizing, internalizing, or substance abuse psychiatric problem (based on self- or peer interview) at age 25, in contrast with 59% of those assigned to intervention (odds ratio=0.59, CI=0.43-0.81; number needed to treat=8). This pattern also held for self-interviews, peer interviews, scores using an "and" rule for self- and peer reports, and separate tests for externalizing problems, internalizing problems, and substance abuse problems, as well as for each of three cohorts, four sites, male participants, female participants, African Americans, European Americans, moderate-risk, and high-risk subgroups. Intervention participants also received lower severity-weighted violent (standardized estimate=-0.37) and drug (standardized estimate=-0.43) crime conviction scores, lower risky sexual behavior scores (standardized estimate=-0.24), and higher well-being scores (standardized estimate=0.19).<h4>Conclusions</h4>This study provides evidence for the efficacy of early intervention in preventing adult psychopathology among high-risk early-starting conduct-problem children.}, Doi = {10.1176/appi.ajp.2014.13060786}, Key = {fds334890} } @article{fds334891, Author = {Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group}, Title = {Trajectories of risk for early sexual activity and early substance use in the Fast Track prevention program.}, Journal = {Prevention science : the official journal of the Society for Prevention Research}, Volume = {15 Suppl 1}, Pages = {S33-S46}, Year = {2014}, Month = {February}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11121-012-0328-8}, Abstract = {Children who exhibit early-starting conduct problems are more likely than their peers to initiate sexual activity and substance use at an early age, experience pregnancy, and contract a sexually-transmitted disease [STD], placing them at risk for HIV/AIDS.

In this study, 1,199 kindergarten children (51% African American; 47% European American; 69% boys) over-sampled for high rates of aggressive-disruptive behavior problems were followed through age 18. Latent class analyses (LCA) were used to define developmental profiles associated with the timing of initiation of sexual activity, tobacco and alcohol/drug use and indicators of risky adolescent sex (e.g. pregnancy and STD). Half of the high-risk children were randomized to a multi-component preventive intervention (Fast Track). The intervention did not significantly reduce membership in the classes characterized by risky sex practices.

Children (n = 401, 43 % female) were followed from kindergarten entry to the age of 18 years. Early adolescent aggressive-oppositional problems at home and aggressive-oppositional problems at school each made unique predictions to the emergence of dating violence in late adolescence. The results suggest that aggressive family dynamics during childhood and early adolescence influence the development of dating violence primarily by fostering a child's oppositional-aggressive responding style initially in the home, which is then generalized to other contexts. Although this study is limited by weaknesses detailed in the discussion, the contribution of longitudinal evidence including parent, teacher, and adolescent reports from both boys and girls, a dual-emphasis on the prediction of perpetration and victimization, as well as an analysis of both relations between variables and person-oriented group comparisons combine to make a unique contribution to the growing literature on adolescent partner violence.}, Doi = {10.1007/s10964-012-9810-7}, Key = {fds334892} } @article{fds334893, Author = {Dodge, KA and Godwin, J and Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group}, Title = {Social-information-processing patterns mediate the impact of preventive intervention on adolescent antisocial behavior.}, Journal = {Psychological science}, Volume = {24}, Number = {4}, Pages = {456-465}, Year = {2013}, Month = {April}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0956797612457394}, Abstract = {In the study reported here, we tested the hypothesis that the Fast Track preventive intervention's positive impact on antisocial behavior in adolescence is mediated by its impact on social-cognitive processes during elementary school.

Michael Foster (Foster, this issue) to our article “Fast Track Intervention Effects on Youth Arrests and Delinquency” (Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group 2010, Journal of Experimental Criminology, 6, 131-157). Our response begins with a description of the mission and goals of the Fast Track project, and how they guided the original design of the study and continue to inform outcome analyses. Then, we respond to the Commentary’s five points in the order they were raised. Conclusions We agree with the Commentary that efforts to prevent crime and delinquency are of high public health significance because the costs of crime anddelinquency to society are indeed enormous. We believe that rigorous, careful intervention research is needed to accumulate evidence that informs prevention programs and activities. We have appreciated the opportunity to respond to the Commentary and to clarify the procedures and results that we presented in our paper on Fast Track effects on youth arrests and delinquency. Our response has clarified the framework for the number of statistical tests made, has reiterated the randomization process, has supported our tests for site-by-intervention effects, has provided our rationale for assuming missing at random, and has clarified that the incarceration variable was not included as a covariate in the hazard analyses. We stand by our conclusion that random assignment to Fast Track had a positive impact in preventing juvenile arrests, and we echo our additional caveat that it will be essential to determine whether intervention produces any longer-term effects on adult arrests as the sample transitions into young adulthood. We also appreciate the opportunity for open scientific debate on the values and risks associated with multiple analyses in long-term prevention program designs such as Fast Track. We believe that, once collected, completed longitudinal intervention datasets should be fully used to understand the impact, process, strengths, and weaknesses of the intervention approach. We agree with the Commentary that efforts to prevent crime and delinquency are of high public health significance because the costs of crime and delinquency to society are indeed enormous. As a result, we argue that it is important to balance the need to maintain awareness and caution regarding potential risks in the design or approach that may confound interpretation of findings, in the manner raised by the Commentator, with the need for extended analyses of the available data so we can better understand over time how antisocial behavior and violence can be effectively reduced.}, Doi = {10.1007/s11292-013-9173-4}, Key = {fds334894} } @article{fds334895, Author = {Witkiewitz, K and King, K and McMahon, RJ and Wu, J and Luk, J and Bierman, KL and Coie, JD and Dodge, KA and Greenberg, MT and Lochman, JE and Pinderhughes, EE and Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group}, Title = {Evidence for a multi-dimensional latent structural model of externalizing disorders.}, Journal = {Journal of abnormal child psychology}, Volume = {41}, Number = {2}, Pages = {223-237}, Year = {2013}, Month = {February}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10802-012-9674-z}, Abstract = {Strong associations between conduct disorder (CD), antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and substance use disorders (SUD) seem to reflect a general vulnerability to externalizing behaviors. Recent studies have characterized this vulnerability on a continuous scale, rather than as distinct categories, suggesting that the revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) take into account the underlying continuum of externalizing behaviors. However, most of this research has not included measures of disorders that appear in childhood [e.g., attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)], nor has it considered the full range of possibilities for the latent structure of externalizing behaviors, particularly factor mixture models, which allow for a latent factor to have both continuous and categorical dimensions. Finally, the majority of prior studies have not tested multidimensional models. Using lifetime diagnoses of externalizing disorders from participants in the Fast Track Project (n = 715), we analyzed a series of latent variable models ranging from fully continuous factor models to fully categorical mixture models. Continuous models provided the best fit to the observed data and also suggested that a two-factor model of externalizing behavior, defined as (1) ODD+ADHD+CD and (2) SUD with adult antisocial behavior sharing common variance with both factors, was necessary to explain the covariation in externalizing disorders. The two-factor model of externalizing behavior was then replicated using a nationally representative sample drawn from the National Comorbidity Survey-Replication data (n = 5,692).

During adolescence, four concurrent conduct problem and substance use trajectory classes were identified (high conduct problems and high substance use, increasing conduct problems and increasing substance use, minimal conduct problems and increasing substance use, and minimal conduct problems and minimal substance use) using a parallel process growth mixture model. Across all substances (tobacco, binge drinking, and marijuana use), higher levels of childhood conduct problems during kindergarten predicted a greater probability of classification into more problematic adolescent trajectory classes relative to less problematic classes. For tobacco and binge drinking models, increases in childhood conduct problems over time also predicted a greater probability of classification into more problematic classes. For all models, individuals classified into more problematic classes showed higher proportions of early sexual intercourse, infrequent condom use, receiving money for sexual services, and ever contracting an STD.

Although the intervention had positive impact on children's hyperactive and self-reported delinquent behaviors in seventh grade, there were no intervention effects on other externalizing behavior problems or on social skills, and there was a negative intervention effect on children's involvement with deviant peers during this age period.}, Doi = {10.1177/0272431609340513}, Key = {fds334900} } @article{fds334901, Author = {Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group}, Title = {Fast Track intervention effects on youth arrests and delinquency.}, Journal = {Journal of experimental criminology}, Volume = {6}, Number = {2}, Pages = {131-157}, Year = {2010}, Month = {June}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11292-010-9091-7}, Abstract = {This paper examines the effects of the Fast Track preventive intervention on youth arrests and self-reported delinquent behavior through age 19. High-risk youth randomly assigned to receive a long-term, comprehensive preventive intervention from 1st grade through 10th grade at four sites were compared to high-risk control youth. Findings indicated that random assignment to Fast Track reduced court-recorded juvenile arrest activity based on a severity weighted sum of juvenile arrests. Supplementary analyses revealed an intervention effect on the reduction in the number of court-recorded moderate-severity juvenile arrests, relative to control children. In addition, among youth with higher initial behavioral risk, the intervention reduced the number of high-severity adult arrests relative to the control youth. Survival analyses examining the onset of arrests and delinquent behavior revealed a similar pattern of findings. Intervention decreased the probability of any juvenile arrest among intervention youth not previously arrested. In addition, intervention decreased the probability of a self-reported high-severity offense among youth with no previous self-reported high-severity offense. Intervention effects were also evident on the onset of high-severity court-recorded adult arrests among participants, but these effects varied by site. The current findings suggest that comprehensive preventive intervention can prevent juvenile arrest rates, although the presence and nature of intervention effects differs by outcome.}, Doi = {10.1007/s11292-010-9091-7}, Key = {fds334901} } @article{fds334902, Author = {Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group}, Title = {The effects of a multiyear universal social-emotional learning program: The role of student and school characteristics.}, Journal = {Journal of consulting and clinical psychology}, Volume = {78}, Number = {2}, Pages = {156-168}, Publisher = {American Psychological Association (APA)}, Year = {2010}, Month = {April}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/a0018607}, Abstract = {<h4>Objective</h4>This article examines the impact of a universal social-emotional learning program, the Fast Track PATHS (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) curriculum and teacher consultation, embedded within the Fast Track selective prevention model.<h4>Method</h4>The longitudinal analysis involved 2,937 children of multiple ethnicities who remained in the same intervention or control schools for Grades 1, 2, and 3. The study involved a clustered randomized controlled trial involving sets of schools randomized within 3 U.S. locations. Measures assessed teacher and peer reports of aggression, hyperactive-disruptive behaviors, and social competence. Beginning in first grade and through 3 successive years, teachers received training and support and implemented the PATHS curriculum in their classrooms.<h4>Results</h4>The study examined the main effects of intervention as well as how outcomes were affected by characteristics of the child (baseline level of problem behavior, gender) and by the school environment (student poverty). Modest positive effects of sustained program exposure included reduced aggression and increased prosocial behavior (according to both teacher and peer report) and improved academic engagement (according to teacher report). Peer report effects were moderated by gender, with significant effects only for boys. Most intervention effects were moderated by school environment, with effects stronger in less disadvantaged schools, and effects on aggression were larger in students who showed higher baseline levels of aggression.<h4>Conclusions</h4>A major implication of the findings is that well-implemented multiyear social-emotional learning programs can have significant and meaningful preventive effects on the population-level rates of aggression, social competence, and academic engagement in the elementary school years.}, Doi = {10.1037/a0018607}, Key = {fds334902} } @article{fds334903, Author = {Jones, D and Godwin, J and Dodge, KA and Bierman, KL and Coie, JD and Greenberg, MT and Lochman, JE and McMahon, RJ and Pinderhughes, EE}, Title = {Impact of the fast track prevention program on health services use by conduct-problem youth.}, Journal = {Pediatrics}, Volume = {125}, Number = {1}, Pages = {e130-e136}, Year = {2010}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1542/peds.2009-0322}, Abstract = {<h4>Objective</h4>We tested the impact of the Fast Track conduct disorder prevention program on the use of pediatric, general health, and mental health services in adolescence.<h4>Patients and methods</h4>Participants were 891 public kindergarten boys and girls screened from a population of 9594 children and found to be at risk for conduct disorder. They were assigned randomly (by school) to intervention or control conditions and were followed for 12 years. Intervention lasted 10 years and included parent training, child social-cognitive skills training, reading tutoring, peer-relations enhancement, and classroom curricula and management.

For control-group youth, the odds of greater use of general health services for any reason and general health services use for mental health purposes were roughly 30% higher and 56% higher, respectively. On the basis of self-report data, the intervention reduced the likelihood of outpatient mental health services among older adolescents for whom odds of services use were more than 90% higher among control-group youth. No differences were found between intervention and control youth on the use of inpatient mental health services.

A previous report documented the favorable effect of intervention on the highest-risk group of ninth-graders diagnosed with conduct disorder, as well as self-reported delinquency. The current report addressed the cost-effectiveness of the intervention for these measures of program impact.<h4>Design</h4>Costs of the intervention were estimated using program budgets. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were computed to determine the cost per unit of improvement in the 3 outcomes measured in the 10th year of the study.<h4>Results</h4>Examination of the total sample showed that the intervention was not cost-effective at likely levels of policymakers' willingness to pay for the key outcomes. Subsequent analysis of those most at risk, however, showed that the intervention likely was cost-effective given specified willingness-to-pay criteria.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Results indicate that the intervention is cost-effective for the children at highest risk. From a policy standpoint, this finding is encouraging because such children are likely to generate higher costs for society over their lifetimes. However, substantial barriers to cost-effectiveness remain, such as the ability to effectively identify and recruit such higher-risk children in future implementations.}, Doi = {10.1001/archpsyc.63.11.1284}, Key = {fds334918} } @article{fds334919, Author = {Erath, and A, S and Bierman, and L, K and Group, TCPPR}, Title = {Aggressive marital conflict, maternal harsh punishment, and child aggressive-disruptive behavior: Evidence for direct and mediated relations}, Journal = {Journal of Family Psychology}, Volume = {20}, Number = {2}, Pages = {217-226}, Publisher = {American Psychological Association (APA)}, Year = {2006}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/0893-3200.20.2.217}, Abstract = {Direct associations between aggressive marital conflict and child aggressive-disruptive behavior at home and school were explored in this cross-sectional study of 360 kindergarten children.

This study examined the ability of a short conduct-problems screening procedure to predict future need for mental health assistance, special education services, and the juvenile justice system during elementary school ages. The screen was based on teacher and parent report of child behavioral habits in kindergarten, and was used to identify children as either at risk or not at risk for behavioral problems. Service outcomes were derived from a service-use assessment administered to parents at the end of the sixth grade, while special education information was gathered through a survey of school records. Study participants (463 kindergarten children; 54% male, 44% African American) were from economically disadvantaged neighborhoods in four diverse communities across the United States. Results indicated that, while controlling for demographic background variables, the risk indicator strongly predicted which children would require services related to conduct disorder or behavioral/emotional problems. Additional analyses revealed that the dichotomous high risk indicator was nearly as strong as the continuous screening variable in predicting the service-use outcomes, and that the screening of both parents and teachers may not be necessary for determining risk status.}, Doi = {10.1023/a:1020896607298}, Key = {fds334939} } @article{fds334940, Author = {Kaplow, and B, J and Curran, and J, P and Dodge, and A, K and Group, TCPPR}, Title = {Child, Parent, and Peer Predictors of Early-Onset Substance Use: A Multi-Site Longitudinal Study}, Journal = {Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology}, Volume = {30}, Number = {3}, Pages = {199-216}, Year = {2002}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1023/a:1015183927979}, Abstract = {The purpose of this study was to identify kindergarten-age predictors of early-onset substance use from demographic, environmental, parenting, child psychological, behavioral, and social functioning domains.

The Fast Track Program is a demonstration project currently underway in four demographically diverse areas of the United States, testing the feasibility and effectiveness of a comprehensive, multicomponent prevention program targeting children at risk for conduct disorders. This paper describes some lessons learned about the implementation of this program in a rural area. Although there are many areas of commonality in terms of program needs, program design, and implementation issues in rural and urban sites, rural areas differ from urban areas along the dimensions of geographical dispersion and regionalism, and community stability and insularity. Rural programs must cover a broad geographical area and must be sensitive to the multiple, small and regional communities that constitute their service area. Small schools, homogeneous populations, traditional values, limited recreational, educational and mental health services, and politically conservative climates are all more likely to emerge as characteristics of rural rather than urban sites (Sherman, 1992). These characteristics may both pose particular challenges to the implementation of prevention programs in rural areas, as well as offer particular benefits. Three aspects of program implementation are described in detail: (a) community entry and program initiation in rural areas, (b) the adaptation of program components and service delivery to meet the needs of rural families and schools, and (c) issues in administrative organization of a broadly dispersed tricounty rural prevention program.}, Doi = {10.1023/a:1024659622528}, Key = {fds334963} } @article{fds334964, Author = {Poulin, F and Cillessen, AHN and Hubbard, JA and Coie, JD and Dodge, KA and Schwartz, D}, Title = {Children's friends and behavioral similarity in two social contexts}, Journal = {Social Development}, Volume = {6}, Number = {2}, Pages = {224-236}, Publisher = {WILEY}, Year = {1997}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9507.1997.tb00103.x}, Abstract = {The general purpose of this study was to examine similarity between friends with respect to behavior.

In Study 1, fourth-grade girls and boys were asked to name peers they liked or disliked, as well as peers they thought liked or disliked them. Comparisons of aggressive-rejected, nonaggressive-rejected, and average status groups revealed that aggressive-rejected children were more unrealistic in their assessments of their social status than were nonaggressive-rejected children. In Study 2, rejected and average boys identified in Study 1 were asked to name who they thought liked or disliked other children from their classroom. Comparisons of perceived and actual nominations for peers revealed that aggressive-rejected children were able to assess the social status of others as well as did nonaggressive-rejected and average status children. Because the difficulties aggressive-rejected children demonstrated in Study 1 did not generalize to judging the status of others in Study 2, the self-protective hypothesis was supported. Study 3 provided a parallel test of this hypothesis under more controlled conditions. Subjects from Study 2 viewed other children receiving rejection feedback from peers in videotaped interactions and received similar feedback themselves from experimental confederates. While all subjects rated self-directed feedback somewhat more positively than other-directed feedback, aggressive-rejected subjects had the largest self-favoring discrepancy between their judgments of self- and other-directed feedback. These findings also suggest that aggressive-rejected children may make self-protective "errors" when judging other children's negative feelings about them. Ethnicity differences in evaluating peer feedback emerged in Studies 1 and 3, raising questions about the impact of minority status on children's evaluations of rejection feedback.}, Doi = {10.1111/j.1467-8624.1996.tb01782.x}, Key = {fds336507} } @article{fds334965, Author = {Stormshak, EA and Bellanti, CJ and Bierman, KL and Coie, JD and Dodge, KA and Greenberg, MT and Lochman, JE and McMahon, RJ}, Title = {The quality of sibling relationships and the development of social competence and behavioral control in aggressive children}, Journal = {Developmental Psychology}, Volume = {32}, Number = {1}, Pages = {79-89}, Publisher = {American Psychological Association (APA)}, Year = {1996}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/0012-1649.32.1.79}, Abstract = {To understand the relations between sibling interactions and the social adjustment of children with behavior problems, 53 aggressive 1st- and 2nd-grade children, their mothers, and their siblings were interviewed about positive and negative aspects of the sibling relationship.

The descriptive data provide a distinctive picture of reactive, instrumental, and bullying aggression as well as differing social norms for target and aggressor behavior in each of these 3 types of aggression.}, Doi = {10.1111/j.1467-8624.1991.tb01571.x}, Key = {fds334976} } @article{fds334977, Author = {Terry, R and Coie, JD}, Title = {A Comparison of Methods for Defining Sociometric Status Among Children}, Journal = {Developmental Psychology}, Volume = {27}, Number = {5}, Pages = {867-880}, Year = {1991}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/0012-1649.27.5.867}, Abstract = {Four of the most commonly used procedures for classifying children into social status groups were compared on such psychometric properties as temporal stability and discriminant validity.

After screening 9, 594 kindergarteners in these schools, 891 highest risk and moderate-rtsk children (69% male and 51% African American) were randomly assigned by matched sets of schools to intervention or control conditions. The 1 0-year intervention (begun in 1991 with three yearly cohorts) included parent behavior-management training, child socialcognitive skills training, reading tutoring, home visiting, mentoring, and a universal classroom curriculum. Outcomes included crtterion counts and psychiatrtc diagnoses after grades 3, 6, and 9 for conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, any externalizing disorder, and self-reported antisocial behavior. Grade 9 outcomes were assessed between 2000 and 2003, depending upon cohort. Results: Significant interaction effects between intervention and initial rtsk level were found at each age but most strongly after grade 9. Assignment to intervention had a significant positive effect in lowertng criterion count scores and diagnoses tor conduct disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and any externalizing disorder, and lowering antisocial behavior scores, but only among those at highest risk initially.
