Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on outcomes for Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC) provided to early education teachers as part of a tiered statewide expulsion prevention initiative. In a sample of 360 children (83.3% male, 66.6% White, 88.1% with clinically elevated externalizing behavior at baseline) at risk for expulsion, outcomes from consultation are described, including expulsion outcomes and changes in child behavior. Multiple regression was used to explore the role of teacher engagement in the IECMHC process on child-level behavioral outcomes. Of the referred children receiving IECMHC, 3.9% were expelled. From pre- to posttest, teachers reported significant reductions in behavior concerns (both frequency and the perception of the behaviors as “problematic”) and expulsion risk (based on teacher perception of child behavior). Teacher engagement in the IECMHC process was a robust predictor of change in child outcomes, with greater engagement associated with improvements in child behavior problems and prosocial skills.

在全州预防驱逐倡议背景下的婴儿和幼儿心理健康咨询

摘要本文关注的是作为全州分级驱逐预防计划的一部分，为早期教育教师提供的婴儿和幼儿心理健康咨询（IECMHC）的结果。在360名有被驱逐风险的儿童（83.3%为男性，66.6%为白人，88.1%为基线时临床外化行为升高）的样本中，描述了咨询的结果，包括驱逐结果和儿童行为的变化。多元回归用于探讨教师参与IECMHC过程对儿童行为结果的影响。在接受IECMHC的转诊儿童中，3.9%被开除。从测试前到测试后，教师报告称行为担忧（频率和对行为“有问题”的感知）和驱逐风险（基于教师对儿童行为的感知）显著降低。教师参与IECMHC过程是儿童结果变化的有力预测因素，更大的参与度与儿童行为问题和亲社会技能的改善有关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Educational & Psychological Consultation (JEPC) provides a forum for improving the scientific understanding of consultation and for describing practical strategies to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of consultation services. Consultation is broadly defined as a process that facilitates problem solving for individuals, groups, and organizations. JEPC publishes articles and special thematic issues that describe formal research, evaluate practice, examine the program implementation process, review relevant literature, investigate systems change, discuss salient issues, and carefully document the translation of theory into practice.
