Teens and Mental Health: A Prevention Curriculum

摘要

The impact of an experimental mental health curriculum on the reduction of maladaptive behavior among 9th grade students in the Wyoming Valley West School District. In general, the pilot study showed: (1) research data can be obtained from schools; (2) the curriculum can be applied consistently across teachers and time; (3) there were treatment effects; (4) a 'lag' pattern of treatment effects was suggested; and (5) the study needs to be replicated.
