Describes and evaluates an adaptation of a school-based preventive mental health program. Teachers at one school and college student volunteers at another used behavioral reinforcement techniques to work with groups of maladapting 2nd graders. Evaluation of the 8-wk intervention program included a 7-mo follow-up. Experimental Ss improved significantly more than controls in classroom adjustment. Results support a school-based model of preventive intervention and the effectiveness of behavioral treatment strategies in such a program.
