Abstract: The Fast Track prevention program was designed, based upon a developmental model of conduct disorders, to test the effectiveness of a comprehensive, multi-faceted, and long-term set of prevention activities for children at risk for conduct disorders. The intervention program involves a six-year span of prevention activities, covering the important developmental transitions of school entry and the transition to middle school. This paper describes the social-skills training program components and the corresponding family support program components used in the first phase of the intervention, at school entry in grades one and two.
