Brief Summary

Oppositional defiant and conduct disorders are the most frequent bases for referral of children and adolescents. These disorders are difficult to treat among school-aged children and adolescents. When they become adults they are likely to manifest depressive disorders, substance abuse or dependence, and criminal behavior. These disorders are also two of the costly childhood disorders. The aim of the study is to assess the preventive effect of parent management training in preschool children at risk for oppositional defiant and conduct disorders because of high aggression scores on a parent questionnaire. It is hypothesized that given the relatively restricted costs of the intervention and the substantial costs of burden associated with these children, the intervention will be cost saving.
