| Summary / Zusammenfassung | The Zurich Project on the Social Development of Children (z-proso) began in October 2003. The project combines a longitudinal study with the randomized implementation of two prevention programmes aimed at promoting life skills among primary school children. The initial target sample will consist of about 1000 seven-year-olds in 100 school classes in the city of Zurich. The study will include three waves of interviews: with parents, children and teachers, conducted once a year for three years. Outcome measures will include various indicators of the social and cognitive development of children, as well as measures of disruptive behaviour, externalizing disorders and bullying. After the initial wave, a parenting programme will be offered to parents in a random sample of 50 school classes. After the second wave of interviews, a sample of 50 classes will be taught a school-based social and cognitive skills curriculum over a period of at least nine months. Findings of the study will contribute to knowledge about the efficiency of early primary school prevention programmes in promoting pro-social skills and in reducing problem behaviour. |
