By Karl G. Hill, Jennifer A. Bailey, Christine M. Steeger, JAMA Pediatrics, June 8, 2020

Key Points

Question  Might a universal social-developmental intervention in childhood show sustained benefits across generations?

Findings  In this nonrandomized controlled trial, significant differences in the offspring of individuals (now parents) who had received the intervention in childhood were observed across 4 domains: improved early-childhood developmental functioning, lower teacher-rated behavioral problems, higher teacher-rated academic skills and performance, and lower child-reported risk behaviors.

Meaning  These findings emphasize the importance of childhood preventive intervention not only for later adult functioning but also for improved functioning in the next generation.
