Pilot Trial of a Social Skills Group Treatment (Secret Agent Society Program)

The Secret Agent Society (SAS) intervention involves subjects participating in 9 weekly two-hour therapy groups ('Club meetings') with 3 to 6 other children. The SAS intervention includes a number of components to help children apply the skills that they learn in the session to home.

The wait list control condition includes the treatment participants are already receiving (which may include but is not limited to: individual therapy, group therapy, and/or medication management). Therefore, the wait list control condition consists of treatment which is individually tailored for each participant. Parent and child assessments will be completed at pre and post treatment (Wk 1 and Wk 10) and at 3-month and 6-month follow-up booster visits. The wait-list group will then be given the opportunity to participate in the SAS intervention at their treating clinic.
