reduction of risk of problematic behaviour for participating children
Prävention
These findings are important in that they endorse the importance of targeting high risk children as early as possible. The study authors looked for evidence that certain interventions might be more effective than others, but all those which were most commonly used (and whose effectiveness can as a result be more reliably measured) showed similar levels of effectiveness, with risk reduction levels of between 4 and 5 points.

The study authors wanted to gather information from all the YISPs about each new referral in a given time period (February 2003 to October 2005). A management information system, known as YISPMIS, had been developed for the YJB for use by the pilots, and the authors were encouraged to use it as the means for data capture for the evaluation. Stripping the data set of these cases reduced it to 1,642 records. The extent of the quantitative analyses undertaken was severely compromised by the poor quality of YISPMIS data. Nevertheless, the quantitative data has been drawn wherever possible, to provide a wider context for the in-depth qualitative work. The in-depth qualitative work provided a rich tapestry of information about how the YISPs operated and about the more subtle impacts on children and parents. Four pilots as case-study sites were selected: Birmingham, Ealing, Lancashire and Nottingham. A range of methods were used to study these, including observations, interviews with professionals, exploratory interviews at different points in time with children and parents, discourse and narrative analysis, and documentary analysis.
