Conduct Problems Best Practice Report
This report was prepared by the Advisory Group on Conduct Problems (AGCP) on the prevention, treatment and management of conduct problems in children and young people. The AGCP was established to provide advice to the Ministries of Social Development, Education, Health and Justice on improving the delivery of behavioural services in New Zealand.
In particular, the report:
- proposes a common language and framework across agencies for the treatment and management of conduct problems
- outlines a ‘prevention science approach’ for the assessment and introduction of effective behavioural interventions in New Zealand
- sets out factors that influence the success of behavioural interventions.
On the basis of the evidence reviewed, the report also recommends a portfolio of programmes that should be considered as a starting point for more detailed policy development in New Zealand.
