Public health advocates have highlighted internalising problems as a leading cause of global burden of disease. Internalising problems (anxiety/depression) affect up to 20% of school-age children and can impact peer relations, school engagement and later employment and mortality. This translational trial aimed to determine whether a selective/indicated parenting group programme to prevent internalising distress in shy/inhibited preschool children had sustained effects in middle childhood. Translational design aspects were a brief parent-report screening tool for child inhibition offered universally across the population via preschools in the year before school, followed by an invitation to parents of all inhibited children to attend the parenting programme at venues in their local community.

Cool Little Kids 转化试验进入儿童中期的后续行动

公共卫生倡导者强调内化问题是全球疾病负担的主要原因。内化问题（焦虑/抑郁）影响多达 20% 的学龄儿童，并可能影响同伴关系、学校参与以及以后的就业和死亡率。这项转化试验旨在确定一个选择性/指示性育儿小组计划，以防止害羞/受抑制的学龄前儿童内化痛苦，是否对儿童中期产生持续影响。转化设计方面是一个简短的家长报告筛选工具，用于在开学前一年通过学前班在人群中普遍提供儿童抑制，然后邀请所有抑制儿童的父母参加当地社区场所的育儿计划。
