Abstract

Background

We examined the implementation and potential effectiveness of a school-based targeted prevention programme addressing behaviour problems, adapted for children with mild intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning.

Method

Thirteen children participated. The intervention was implemented in schools. We examined intervention dosage, reach, responsiveness, satisfaction, and comprehension, using questionnaires completed by children and trainers. We assessed child- and teacher-reported behaviour problems before and after the intervention.

Results

Trainers selected both children who did and did not meet the intervention eligibility criteria, suggesting problems in intervention reach. Intervention dosage, responsiveness, satisfaction, and comprehension were satisfactory. There were group-level behaviour problem decreases (i.e., Cohen's d). Individual-level behaviour problem changes (i.e., Reliable Change Indices) showed large heterogeneity and little reliable change.

Conclusions

The results provide initial evidence that the intervention has potential for successful implementation in schools, but the current evidence for intervention effectiveness is inconclusive.

针对轻度智障或边缘智力功能和行为问题儿童的校本定向预防：试点实施研究。

背景：我们研究了针对行为问题的校本定向预防计划的实施情况和潜在效果，该计划针对轻度智障或边缘智力功能儿童进行了调整：13名儿童参加了该项目。干预措施在学校实施。我们使用儿童和培训师填写的问卷调查了干预的剂量、覆盖面、响应度、满意度和理解力。我们还对干预前后儿童和教师报告的行为问题进行了评估：结果：培训师既选择了符合干预资格标准的儿童，也选择了不符合干预资格标准的儿童，这表明在干预到达率方面存在问题。干预的剂量、响应度、满意度和理解力都令人满意。群体层面的行为问题有所减少（即 Cohen's d）。个人层面的行为问题变化（即可靠变化指数）显示出很大的异质性，几乎没有可靠的变化：研究结果提供了初步证据，表明该干预措施有可能在学校成功实施，但目前有关干预效果的证据尚不确定。
