Abstract Details

2011, Specialist in Education, Miami University, School Psychology.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect that a multicomponent small-group intervention that includes social skills training, role playing and peer monitoring had on indicators of psychopathology in at-risk African American elementary students. Twelve 4th and 5th grade students from an urban school district participated in the four week intervention. A weekly repeated measure completed by teachers and a pre-post measure were collected and analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Decreases in indicators of psychopathology were observed across all participants. The impact of this study on future research and the importance of preventative school-based interventions are explored.
