TL;DR: Adding TT to PT or CT improved treatment outcome in terms of teacher behavior management in the classroom and in reports of behavior problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, families of 97 children with early-onset conduct problems, 4 to 8 years old, were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: a parent training treatment group (PT), a child training group (CT), a combined child and parent training group(CT + PT), or a waiting-list control group (CON).

TL;DR: Studied the effectiveness of parent and teacher training as a selective prevention program for 272 Head Start mothers and their 4-year-old children and 61 Head Start teachers to reduce risk factors leading to delinquency by promoting social competence, school readiness, and reducing conduct problems.

TL;DR: The authors examined the generalizability of environment/development relationships among three ethnic groups across the first 3 years of life and found that specific aspects of the child's home environment, such as parental responsivity and availability of stimulating play materials, were more strongly related to child developmental status than global measures of environmental quality such as SES.

TL;DR: Maternal reports of stress related to mother characteristics and to negative life events were the most potent variables discriminating depressed from nondepressed mother families.
