The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Social-emotional Skills for Thriving and Relating at School (SSTRS) Program can help children entering kindergarten and their families. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Do children who participate in SSTRS have better social-emotional skills and mental health? and 2) Do parents who participate in SSTRS have more positive parenting skills and involvement in their children's learning?
Researchers will compare the SSTRS Program to the regular kindergarten curriculum without SSTRS to see if being in SSTRS helps children to have better mental health and parents to have better parenting skills.
Kindergarteners will have daily SSTRS lessons in their kindergarten classes for 8 weeks.
Their parents will watch videos and attend group meetings with other parents and answer questions about their own and their children's behaviors and mental health

| Social-emotional Skills for Thriving and Relating at School Program | Behavioral | The SSTRS Program is a developmentally-tailored, school-based preventive intervention focusing on children and their parents at the critical transition to kindergarten to prevent deficits in children's social-emotional skills-which are known transdiagnostic risk factors for a range of mental health problems. Children receive SSTRS programming during their regular school day for eight weeks at the beginning of the school year. Parents receive SSTRS programming via informational videos and virtual parenting groups during the same time period. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Strengths & Difficulties Questionnaire | Parent and teacher report on the 25-item measure yields five subscales: Emotional Symptoms Scale (scores range 0-10, high scores indicate more problems), Conduct Problems Scale (scores range 0-10, high scores indicate more problems), Hyperactivity Scale (scores range 0-10, high scores indicate more problems) , Peer Problems Scale (scores range 0-10, high scores indicate more problems), and Prosocial Scale (scores range 0-10, high scores indicate better social skills). A Total Difficulties Score can also be derived by summing all of the scales except the Prosocial Scale resulting in a score raniging from 0 to 40 with higher scores denoting greater difficulties. | Parents will complete the measure at baseline, 2 months post-baseline at the end of the intervention and 9 months post-baseline. Teachers will complete the measure at 9 months post-baseline. |
| Office discipline referrals | These are records of referrals for serious behaviors within the school setting. They are administartive records. | These will be collected at 9 months post-baseline. |
