  • Data collection from approximately 9,600 children (ages 5-12) in 15 NYC elementary schools.
  • Baseline survey data collected from 8,233 students, with further data points planned.

    • Main Results:

    • Preliminary analyses indicate that aggressive fantasies, hostile attributional biases, and conduct problems increase with grade level.
    • The study population is diverse, with 41% Hispanic and 37% African American students.
    • The evaluation compares the effects of the initial program stages with more comprehensive models.

    Conclusions:
