Good question. I have a Google Alert on these type of questions. The Good Behavior Game is the single most evidence-based strategy for prevention of multiple mental, emotional and behavioral disorders in prevention science. It is in the recent Institute of Medicine Report on Prevention (See here [link removed].

Here is the review that I published about GBG in 2002, [link removed]

In 2008 and 2009, my colleagues at Johns Hopkins published a flurry of new papers on the long term results of the Game into the 21, 25 or 29th year of life from just 1st grade exposure.

The Game increases high-school graduation and college entry, while reducing the need for special education services. See [link removed]

The Game reduces lifetime criminal behavior and violence. See [link removed]

The Game reduces lifetime drug, alcohol and mental health problems. See [link removed]

The Game reduces lifetime suicide attempts. See [link removed]

The Game reduces or prevents ADHD in elementary school. See [link removed]

The PAX Good Behavior Game is the commercial version of the Game that is being used now in ongoing studies of the Game in some 1,500 classrooms in Baltimore, and many other of other classrooms in the use. Here is but one example in Ohio. See [link removed]

Recently, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration has funded some 22 school districts to implement the Game. We will be hosting a 1-week training for potential coaches from schools to learn how to bring the Game to your school, and we are looking to begin offering destination training events throughout the country for individual teachers to attend. If you would like to find out more and talk with real world individuals who are using the Game, please contact Claire Richardson at 520-907-5240 (Please observe Pacific Daylight Time).

I am the first author of the materials for the PAX Good Behavior Game Materials.
