The mission of the Center is to improve preventive and treatment interventions by bridging epidemiologic, intervention and services research through the development of a research structure and research strategies capable of evaluating the effectiveness of sustainability of promising an evidence based interventions; identifying factors that inhibit facilitate improved prevention and treatment practices and outcomes, and disseminating knowledge gained in order to improve prevention and treatment research practices.

Merging Mental Health and Primary Care
PI: Bradshaw, C.
We developed a web-based survey for district-wide administration to students, staff, and parents regarding bullying, peer victimization, school safety, climate, and academic engagement. With the assistance of the Bevans Group, we created an on-line results summary system to facilitate data-based decision-making by school staff and administrators. We worked closely with staff from the Anne Arundel County Public Schools to develop the survey system. Several publications, presentations, and training sessions resulted from the project. A number of school districts in the state have expressed interest in expanding this model of bullying prevention into their local school systems.
PI: Leaf, P.
This project aims to investigate racial/ethnic, gender, and age differences in the characteristics of youth entering the program, potential disparities in the services received, and potential disparities in treatment outcomes.
PI: Leaf, P.; Co-PI: Bradshaw, C.
Project Target is a five-year collaborative project of Maryland State Department of Education ( MSDE), local school systems, Sheppard Pratt Health System, and the Johns Hopkins University’s Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence to evaluate the effects of the school-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) model in Maryland schools. The randomized controlled trial included 37 elementary schools throughout Maryland.
PI: Leaf, P.; Co-PI: Bradshaw, C.
The PBISplus Project is a collaborative project of Maryland State Department of Education ( MSDE), local school systems, Sheppard Pratt Health System, and the Johns Hopkins University’s Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence to determine if providing enhanced training, support, and on-site technical assistance to the collaborative problem-solving teams (e.g., Student Support Teams) at schools already implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) will enhance the quality of behavior support plans and interventions for students not responding adequately to the universal PBIS program. The randomized controlled trial includes 45 Maryland elementary schools implementing school-wide PBIS.
PI: Bradshaw, C.
Working in collaborative with the Maryland State Department of Education ( MSDE), we are linking data from the randomized trial of school-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and supports (PBIS) with academic and services data to determine for whom and under what circumstances school-wide PBIS is most effective. This project examines data on over 29,000 students and 3,500 staff from 37 elementary schools over 5 years.
PI: Ialongo, N.
A universal, elementary school, preventive intervention seeking to accomplish reductions in aggressive/disruptive and off-task behavior via teacher-led instruction aimed at facilitating emotion regulation (particularly anger management), self control, social problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills. This randomized controlled trial is testing the combination of the Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) social-emotional learning curriculum with the PAX/Good Behavior Game, and includes 27 Baltimore City public schools.
