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 />

Decrease in depressive symp<strong>to</strong>ms was<br />

At 6-months follow-up, the girls in the<br />
