Health Behavior Interventions

This chapter suggests that an integration of perspectives from personality and social psychology (i.e., a Person × Intervention strategy framework) provides a rich context to explore precise specifications of the mediators and moderators that guide health behavior and decision-making. First discussed is how conceptualizations of moderated mediation and mediated moderation can enrich theory and serve to enumerate specific principles to guide the development and dissemination of more effective health behavior interventions. Second, research is reviewed from four different literatures that rely on a similar Person × Intervention strategy framework (i.e., the effectiveness of an intervention strategy depends on the degree to which it matches features of the target person) to examine evidence for the processes that mediate the effect of this moderated intervention approach. Finally described is how a more systematic analysis of the interplay between mediating and moderating processes can stimulate advances in theory, intervention research, and practice of health behavior.

Identification and validation of effective Tier 2 interventions that address a wide range of student-level factors is critical to the sustainability of positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS). Within the context of check-in check-out (CICO), function of behavior affects outcomes for many students, especially for those who engage in problem behavior to escape from tasks. Therefore, more research is needed to understand if and how we can support students with escape-maintained behavior. Breaks are Better (BrB) is a modified version of CICO that includes a system for taking breaks. The current research on BrB is limited but promising. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of CICO to BrB. Using a multitreatment design, we compared the effects of each intervention by measuring problem behavior and academic engagement across five elementary students who engaged in problem behavior to escape from tasks. Overall results were mixed and ranged from strong effects of BrB to no differential effects. However, despite the results, teachers and students consistently rated BrB as being a more preferable intervention. We conclude with limitations and implications for practice.

Support Students

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are faced with providing therapeutic services to students with a variety of disorders. Students with disorders such as speech and language impairments, autism, and intellectual disabilities can demonstrate behaviors within the classroom setting. Speech-language pathologists are a part of a collaborative team responsible for providing supports or interventions. Often, SLPs are unaware of behavioral strategies/interventions that correlate to school-wide expectations. This article provides examples of positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) that can be utilized to support students with disabilities in and out of the classroom.

Direct Measures

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability and validity of a measure assessing sustainability of school-wide behavior interventions, the School-Wide Universal Behavior Support Sustainability Index: School Teams (SUBSIST). We assessed the stability of the SUBSIST across 3 years of measurement. We also assessed the convergent validity of two key SUBSIST factors, Team Use of Data and District Capacity Building, with more direct measures of these constructs. Results showed stability of the measure across multiple years and statistically significant correlations when compared with other external measures. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

The Continuum

This special issue of Behavioral Disorders features a collection of studies designed to improve the outcomes of children and youth with and at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders across multitiered continua of supports using positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS). Studies published in this issue address a variety of educational contexts (school and district) across the continuum of support systems (universal, targeted, and overall systems). Five research studies are presented that illustrate current topics in positive behavior supports (PBS) that focus on improving students’ cognitive abilities, social skills, and emotional well-being across school and district levels.
