First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a stepped prevention program called Family Check-Up+ for families with young children at risk of behavior problems. Researchers will enroll 300 families in Ontario, Canada, and focus on how well the program reaches families and is delivered in routine settings. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and can be scaled up, not to directly treat behavior problems.
