What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to optimize a school-based therapeutic play intervention in preschool students with mild to moderate school adjustment difficulties. The aims are: 1. Determine the independent and combined effects of three intervention components (individual play, peer play, and classroom push-in sessions) on preschool children's social and emotional competence, using a factorial experimental design. 2. Use a community-engaged approach to identify and disseminate the optimized version of Primary Project for preschool implementation Researchers will compare the main and interactive effects of three components on children's social-emotional competencies. Participants will take part in a therapeutic play intervention in the school setting, and their teachers and caregivers will complete assessment instruments on children's social and emotional functioning.

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: Children will be eligible if they are enrolled in preschool classrooms at participating schools and identified as appropriate for intervention through universal screening. Screening will be conducted using the Teacher-Child Rating Scale (T-CRS; Hightower et al., 1986), a teacher-completed measure of social-emotional adjustment. Children who score in the target range indicating emerging adjustment difficulties (i.e., 15th to 30th percentile) will be eligible for participation in the trial. Exclusion Criteria: Children will be excluded if they demonstrate severe developmental impairments that would prevent participation in the intervention.
