Incredible Years® – Preschool Basic Program
Incredible Years – Preschool Basic Program (“IY-Preschool”) can be offered as a group-based prevention or treatment program for parents of children (3 to 6 years). When delivered as a treatment program, IY-Preschool typically targets higher-risk populations and parents of children diagnosed with problems such as oppositional defiant disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). IY-Preschool aims to help parents implement positive discipline. It also aims to strengthen their child’s social, emotional, academic, and self-regulation skills and reduce behavior problems.
IY-Preschool focuses on four developmentally appropriate topics during the sessions: (1) strengthening children’s language, school readiness, emotional and social skills, and positive relationships with parents, caregivers, and other children; (2) using praise and incentives to encourage cooperative behavior; (3) proactive discipline; and (4) preventing and managing misbehavior.
During each group session, parents watch 8 to 10 situational video vignettes. They engage in discussions facilitated by the group leaders and problem solve about best parenting practices. Parents are also encouraged to complete activities at home to apply the skills they learned with the group with their children.
A re-review of Incredible Years Preschool Basic was conducted in March 2026 based on additional studies being eligible for review under the Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 2.0.
The Prevention Services Clearinghouse’s independent systematic review of IY-Preschool found that at least one study achieved a rating of moderate or high on study design and execution and demonstrated a favorable effect on a target outcome.
As of December 2025, the ACF Assistant Secretary has final approval authority over the determination of the program or service rating. For more information, please visit the FAQ on the rating determination policy.

Education, Certifications and Training
Incredible Years® offers a three-day in-person training for IY-Preschool group leaders. The training is highly recommended for all group leaders and is required for group leaders who plan to become certified. It is recommended that at least one of the two leaders working with a group has a master’s degree or comparable education/background. Group leaders who have attended IY-Preschool training can become certified by demonstrating positive participant evaluations, positive trainer/mentor evaluations of videotape review, positive peer review, and satisfactory completion of session protocols. Group leaders come from a variety of backgrounds, including social work, psychology, nursing, medicine or education. Additionally, they should have taken at least one course in child development or social learning theory.

Note: For the effect sizes and implied percentile effects reported in the table, a positive number favors the intervention condition and a negative number favors the comparison condition. A range of comparison conditions, including no intervention, minimal intervention, placebo or attention, treatment as usual, and head-to-head comparison conditions are eligible for review (see Section 4.1.7 of the Handbook Version 2.0). Different types of comparison conditions may affect the magnitude of the effect sizes across studies. For example, an intervention compared to a no treatment comparison condition may produce a larger effect size than the same intervention compared to another intervention because the other intervention may itself be effective. The effect sizes shown may be derived from samples that overlap across studies. See the Individual Study Findings table for information about the specific comparison conditions used in each study and the Studies Reviewed section for information about any overlapping samples. The effect sizes presented here are provided for informational purposes only and are not used in determining a program or service rating.

Note: For the effect sizes and implied percentile effects reported in the table, a positive number favors the intervention condition and a negative number favors the comparison condition. Effect sizes and implied percentile effects were calculated by the Prevention Services Clearinghouse as described in the Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 2.0, Sections 6.4 and 6.5 and may not align with effect sizes reported in individual publications. The Prevention Services Clearinghouse uses information reported in study documents and, when necessary, information provided by study authors in response to author queries to assign study ratings and calculate effect sizes (see Section 8.4.2 in the Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 2.0). The Prevention Services Clearinghouse typically relies on study-reported p-values to form the basis of the assessment of statistical significance for a finding, but will perform its own statistical test of a finding using any available information in study documents or author queries, as needed (see Section 6.3 in the Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 2.0). As a result, the effect sizes and statistical significance reported in the table may not align with the estimates as they are reported in study documents.
Only publications with eligible contrasts that met design and execution standards are included in the individual study findings table.
Full citations for the studies shown in the table are available in the "Studies Reviewed" section.

The table below displays locations, the year, and participant demographics for studies that received moderate or high ratings on design and execution and that reported the information. Participant characteristics for studies with more than one intervention versus comparison group pair that received moderate or high ratings are shown separately in the table. Please note, the information presented here uses terminology directly from the study documents, when available. Studies that received moderate or high ratings on design and execution that did not include relevant participant demographic information would not be represented in this table.
