Future research should focus on high-risk<br />

internalising symp<strong>to</strong>ms<br />

as reported by<br />

adolescents, their<br />

parents and teachers in a<br />

large longitudinal<br />

evaluation (Gillham et<br />

al., 2007)<br />

3-arm RCT: PRP, Penn Enhancement<br />

Program (PEP), and control group.<br />

Adolescent, parents and teachers<br />

were assessed pre-intervention, 2<br />

weeks post-intervention and at 6-<br />

month intervals for 3 years.<br />

PRP provided cognitive behavioural<br />

group intervention once per week for<br />

12 weeks. PRP sessions involved<br />

discussions, skill training and role<br />

plays in the classroom setting, and<br />

homework <strong>to</strong> reinforce the program<br />

content.<br />

(parents)<br />

Relative <strong>to</strong> no intervention control, PRP<br />

reduced parent-reports of adolescents’<br />

internalising symp<strong>to</strong>ms beginning at the<br />

first assessment after the intervention<br />

and persisting for most of the follow-up<br />

assessments.<br />

PRP also reduced parent-reported<br />

conduct problems relative <strong>to</strong> nointervention.<br />

There was no evidence that the PRP<br />

program produced an effect on teacheror<br />

self-report of adolescents’ symp<strong>to</strong>ms.<br />

Overall, PRP did not reduce symp<strong>to</strong>ms<br />

relative <strong>to</strong> the alternate intervention<br />

(PEP), although there is a suggestion of a<br />

delayed effect for conduct problems.<br />
