Children classified as behaviorally inhibited (BI) are at risk for social anxiety. Risk for anxiety is moderated by both parental behavior and social–emotional competence. Grounded in developmental–transactional theory, the Turtle Program involves both parent and child treatment components delivered within the peer context. Our pilot work demonstrated beneficial effects of the Turtle Program (‘Turtle’) over a waitlist control group. Herein, we report results of a rigorous randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing Turtle to the best available treatment for young children high in BI, Cool Little Kids (CLK).

对抑制幼儿的早期干预：一项比较海龟计划和酷小孩子的随机对照试验

被归类为行为抑制 (BI) 的儿童有社交焦虑的风险。焦虑的风险受到父母行为和社交情感能力的调节。基于发展-交易理论，海龟计划涉及在同伴环境中提供的父母和儿童治疗部分。我们的试点工作证明了海龟计划（“海龟”）对候补名单控制组的有益影响。在此，我们报告了一项严格的随机对照试验 (RCT) 的结果，该试验将 Turtle 与针对 BI 高的幼儿 Cool Little Kids (CLK) 的最佳可用治疗方法进行了比较。
