OVERVIEW
CARS is a research study examining intervention for high school age students with social, emotional, and behavioral problems. CARS is a national research center funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES).
Mission
To develop and evaluate interventions for adolescents with social, emotional, and behavioral problems.
Each of the principal investigators has been engaged in meaningful research focused on the critical issues faced by youth with emotional and behavioral concerns for decades. The three investigators are joined by a strong research team of scholars who share a committment to intervention development and evaluation for adolescents with emotional and behavioral needs.
We will develop, adapt, and evaluate interventions over the next 5 years to help determine the most effective strategies for supporting these students. In addition to identifying effective techniques, we also will strive to ensure that the interventions are comprehensive, culturally relevant, and practical.
