Web-Based Universal Screening for Students at Risk for Serious Behavior Problems

描述（由申请人提供）：学校心理学、儿童心理健康和特殊教育领域的专业人士都很清楚，早期筛查、干预和预防工作对减少高危儿童日后破坏性行为障碍的积极影响。公立学校为早期应用普遍筛查程序提供了理想的环境，并与循证干预和服务联系在一起。行为障碍系统筛查（SSBD）程序（Walker & Severson, 1990）是一种经过研究验证的通用筛查系统，用于识别小学年龄范围内学生的外化或内化性质的学校相关行为问题。SSBD筛查模式包括三个综合筛查阶段，采用多门控程序，作为一种有效的小学儿童筛查系统已被广泛采用和称赞。虽然SSBD已在学校广泛使用，但我们建议开发一个电子的、基于网络的格式，方便学校的专业人员使用，以筛选有高风险行为的学生。这个拟议的项目将侧重于设计和创建一个基于网络的SSBD原型。筛选阶段1和2将作为网络原型的一部分，在三个州的普通教育教师、管理人员和学校心理学家参与其中。第二阶段将开发完整的SSBD网络版本，包括培训SSBD第三阶段观察性筛查措施的专业人员，扩展地方和国家规范，开发幼儿园和中学版本的筛查措施，并提供使用筛查数据跟踪学生和学校的管理功能。SSBD-Web项目的发展有可能扩大学校普遍筛查程序的采用，确定需要支持性服务的学生，促进儿童在学业和社会环境中的成功。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Professionals in the field of school psychology, child mental Health and special education are well aware of the positive impact that early screening, intervention and prevention efforts can have in reducing later, disruptive behavior disorders among at-risk children. Public schools provide an ideal setting for the early application of universal screening procedures, tied to evidence-based interventions and services. The Systematic Screening for Behavior Disorders (SSBD) procedure (Walker & Severson, 1990) is a research-validated, universal screening system to identify school-related behavior problems of an externalizing or internalizing nature among students in the elementary age-grade range. The SSBD screening model consists of three integrated screening stages using a multiple-gating procedure and has been broadly adopted and praised as an efficacious screening system for elementary grade children. While the SSBD has been widely used in schools, we propose to develop an electronic, web-based format that can be easily used by school-based professionals to screen for students exhibiting high-risk behaviors. This proposed project will focus on designing and creating a prototype, web-based version of the SSBD. Screening Stages 1 and 2 will be trial tested, as part of the web-based prototype with participating general education teachers, administrators and school psychologists in three states. Phase II will develop the full SSBD web version, including training of professionals on the SSBD Stage 3 observational screening measures, expanding local and national norms, development of preschool and middle school versions of the screening measures and providing administrative functions for tracking students and schools using the screening data. Development of the SSBD-Web program has the potential to expand the adoption of universal screening procedures in schools, identify students in need of supportive services and promote children's success in academic and social settings. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Project Narrative Public schools provide an ideal setting for using universal screening procedures, tied to evidence-based interventions. The Systematic Screening for Behavior Disorders (SSBD) procedure (Walker & Severson, 1990) is a research-validated, universal screening system to identify school-related behavior problems in students in grades 1-5. We propose to develop an electronic, web-based format that can be easily used by teachers and school staff to screen for students exhibiting high-risk behaviors. The SSBD-Web program has the potential to expand the adoption of universal screening procedures in schools, and promote children's success in academic and social settings.
