  • To discuss comprehensive assessment and treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on childhood aggression.
  • Identification of risk factors including socioeconomic and environmental influences.
  • Analysis of assessment protocols and intervention modalities.

Main Results:

  • Aggressive children face higher risks of adult physical/mental illness, unemployment, poverty, and legal issues.
  • Key risk factors include low maternal education, adolescent pregnancy, prenatal substance exposure, poverty, coercive parenting, maltreatment, and bullying.
  • Comprehensive assessment is vital for identifying underlying issues and modifiable factors.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing risk factors like poverty and maltreatment is essential for aggression prevention.
  • Psychosocial interventions (parenting skills, CBT) and pharmacotherapy are key treatment components.
