This study reports results of a randomized, controlled trial examining the efficacy of the Family Check-Up (FCU) initiated during kindergarten on teacher report of children’s emotional and behavior problems in first and second grade. Children’s emotional and behavior needs and the receipt of special services in school at pretest were examined as moderators. Participants were primary caregivers and teachers of 365 children in early elementary school. Using an intent-to-treat approach, results indicated children in the FCU condition outperformed children in a business-as-usual control condition on teacher report of emotional and behavior problems in first and second grade. Children experiencing higher levels of emotional and behavior problems at pretest benefited from the FCU more than did children who experienced lower levels of problems. There was no evidence of moderation by whether children received special services in school. Implications for family-centered interventions, study limitations, and future research directions are discussed.

小学早期儿童情绪和行为问题家庭体检的效果

本研究报告了一项随机对照试验的结果，该试验检查了在幼儿园期间启动的家庭检查 (FCU) 对教师报告一、二年级儿童情绪和行为问题的有效性。儿童的情绪和行为需求以及在预测试时在学校接受特殊服务的情况作为主持人进行了检查。参与者是小学早期 365 名儿童的主要照顾者和教师。使用意向治疗方法，结果表明 FCU 条件下的儿童​​在教师报告的一年级和二年级情绪和行为问题上的表现优于一切照常控制条件下的儿童​​。在预测试中遇到较高水平情绪和行为问题的儿童比经历较低水平问题的儿童从 FCU 中受益更多。没有证据表明儿童是否在学校接受了特殊服务。讨论了以家庭为中心的干预措施、研究局限性和未来研究方向的影响。
