Summary

This completed study involved 458 pre-K students and their families from 81 high-poverty NYC schools. Researchers tested whether a program called ParentCorps, combined with teacher training, could improve children's emotional well-being and social skills. Parents and teachers reported on children's anger, attention, and social behavior over time. The goal is to understand how to better support young children's mental health in school settings.
