We report here findings from a community-based multifaceted prevention program which was implemented concomitantly as a universal and indicated intervention. Screening of social competence development was used to select preschool children targeted by the indicated intervention (high risk), and by the universal intervention (moderate and low risk). The intervention's effectiveness on children's behaviors at home increased as a function of higher baseline risk status and higher parental attendance rates. The results also suggest that short, four session parent training is sustainable, generating attendance rates up to 60%. The intervention's effectiveness on parent behaviors was only partially sustained by significant within intervention group trends. The results indicate that the use of parent training in community-based interventions sustain skills transfer from the classroom to parent-child interactions. Furthermore, the most consistent effects were found for moderate risk children, suggesting that universal interventions might be efficient for this marginally at risk category.
