Regarding intervention participation, 96% of parents and 98% of children attended at least one group session during grade 1. Of these families, 79% of parents and 90% of children attended at least 50% of prescribed group sessions. Participation decreased modestly across years, primarily due to residential moves. In grades 7–10, intervention continued with at least 80% of all children. High intervention fidelity was ensured by manualization, regular cross-site training, and weekly clinical supervision. Outside interventions were neither encouraged nor discouraged. The full protocol can be found at http://www.fasttrackproject.org
