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

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后期破坏性行为障碍的积极影响。公立学校为早期应用与循证干预措施和服务相关的普遍筛查程序提供了理想的环境。行为障碍系统筛查（SSBD）程序（步行者和Severson，1990）是一个经过研究验证的通用筛查系统，用于识别小学年龄-年级范围内学生的外化或内化性质的学校相关行为问题。SSBD筛查模式由三个综合筛查阶段组成，采用多门控程序，已被广泛采用，并被誉为小学儿童的有效筛查系统。虽然SSBD已被广泛用于学校，我们建议开发一个电子，基于网络的格式，可以很容易地使用学校为基础的专业人员筛选学生表现出高风险行为。该拟议项目将侧重于设计和创建SSBD的原型、基于网络的版本。筛选阶段1和2将作为基于网络的原型的一部分进行试用，参与者包括三个州的普通教育教师、行政人员和学校心理学家。第二阶段将开发完整的SSBD网络版本，包括对SSBD第三阶段观察性筛查措施的专业人员进行培训，扩大地方和国家规范，开发筛查措施的学前班和中学版本，并提供使用筛查数据跟踪学生和学校的行政职能。SSBD网络计划的开发有可能扩大学校普遍筛查程序的采用，确定需要支持服务的学生，并促进儿童在学术和社会环境中的成功。 公共卫生相关性： 公立学校提供了一个使用普遍筛查程序的理想环境，与基于证据的干预措施联系在一起。行为障碍系统筛查（SSBD）程序（步行者和Severson，1990）是一个经过研究验证的通用筛查系统，用于识别1-5年级学生的学校相关行为问题。我们建议开发一种电子的，基于网络的格式，可以很容易地被教师和学校工作人员使用，以筛选学生表现出高风险的行为。SSBD-Web计划有可能扩大学校采用通用筛查程序，并促进儿童在学术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.
