Science to practice in underserved communities : the effectiveness of school mental health programming . This study examined the effectiveness of a treatment program comprised of several components based on evidence-based treatments ( EBTs ) for disruptive behavior problems delivered to youth participating in a school mental health program in an underserved community in the Appalachian region . Participants were 117 children in kindergarten through 6th grade including 91 children ( 78 % male ) from 5 schools who were consecutively referred to the intervention program and 26 children ( 73 % male ) from 3 schools in which program implementation was delayed for 1 year . Treatment outcome was measured via parent and teacher ratings of child symptoms and functioning . The treatment condition resulted in significant reduction in hyperactivity/impulsivity and early aggressive and delinquent behavior , as well as significant improvement in several other functional domains . Results suggest that EBTs can retain their effectiveness when transported to a community context .
