I'm not sure.

I don't know why here.

Certainly, if you're in more disadvantaged areas, then there are more sort of complex factors that are contributing.

One of the big problems is that children that have disruptive behavior problems are

only about 25% of those children are actually getting the treatments that they need.

Right.

And that could be part of the issue.

So many of the kids that we've worked with, you know, they're facing partial enrollments.

They're facing having to spend several days at a behavior school

Eventually, they may not be able to attend the mainstream school at all.

As they get older, we know they're more likely to drop out of school, to fail academically.

Then they're on a pathway to a host of problematic outcomes later in life, which involve poor occupational achievement, poor financial achievement.

So we do know that roughly 10% of a society are at risk for these kind of life course persistent antisocial behaviors, which lead them on that pathway.

The reason that I chose to work with this particular type of treatment is because it's been found to be one of the most effective treatments for these disruptive behavior disorders like ODD and conduct disorder and ADHD.

It can, but you don't consistently work with teachers as part of programs like this, even though this is the gold standard treatment for ODD and conduct disorder.

So what we were interested in doing was saying, could we take this gold standard treatment for ODD, conduct disorder, these very disruptive, aggressive behaviors, and could we put that into schools?

Because by doing that, we would break down a lot of those access barriers because they're already going to school every day.

Transportation barriers, child care barriers in some cases.

So it was a way to get this very effective treatment to a place where more people would be able to get it.

What we did was we built clinics on the grounds of schools, and we had the teachers come in and watch the parents.
