TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Schools and homes in partnership (SHIP): long-term effects of a preventive intervention focused on social behavior and reading skill in early elementary school JO - Prevention science A1 - Smolkowski, Keith A1 - Biglan, Anthony A1 - Barrera, Manuel A1 - Taylor, Ted A1 - Black, Carol A1 - Blair, Jason SP - 113 EP - 125 VL - 6 IS - 2 N2 - This paper reports a randomized controlled trial of the effects of behavioral parenting skills training, social skills training, and supplemental reading instruction on the social behavior of early elementary school children (K through 3). We selected children based on teacher-rated aggressive behavior or reading-skill deficits, delivered the intervention over a 2-year period, and obtained follow-up data for two additional years. The intervention affected only two of eight measures of child functioning--parent daily reports of antisocial behavior and parent ratings of coercive behavior. There was evidence that parents of boys in the intervention condition displayed significantly greater declines in their rated use of coercive discipline than did parents of boys in the control condition.
