The Research Programme

The current research programme will extend over approximately three academic years and will include three RCTs, as well as a smaller economic evaluation and implementation study.

Research activity over the three years will be as follows:

Year 1 (2008); an evaluation of The Incredible Years Parent Training Programme will be conducted using approximately 150 parents allocated randomly to control and experimental groups.  This trial will measure the impact of Parent Training only on both child and parent behaviour.

Year 2 (2009); an evaluation of The Incredible Years Teacher Training Programme will be carried out in up to 12 schools randomly allocated to control and experimental groups.  This trial will measure the impact of the Teacher Classroom Management Programme
