"PAX (also known as the PAX Good Behavior Game®)1 is a school-based mental health promotion strategy developed to improve mental, emotional, behavioural, and academic outcomes in children and youth by teaching children to manage their behaviours and feelings, and collaborate with others to create peaceful and happy classrooms. A cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) of PAX was implemented by Healthy Child Manitoba in the 2011-12 school year and about 200 schools participated. The cluster RCT involved providing PAX training to grade 1 teachers in about half of these schools in 2011-12. The goal of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of PAX in improving educational outcomes, promoting health, and preventing mental illness in young children.The specific objectives of this report were to:1. Transfer data on the PAX program to the Manitoba Population Research Data Repository (Repository) and conduct a quality assessment of the data; and 2. Evaluate the effectiveness of the PAX program in Manitoba, using PAX program data linked with administrative data in the Repository."--Page 7.
