Abstract
Implemented and evaluated a preventive intervention for kindergarten and first grade children of divorce. Structure and content of the 12 session Children of Divorce Intervention Program (CODIP) was tailored to the developmental characteristics of 5 and 6 year olds. Pre-post comparisons of demographically matched groups of 37 CODIP participants, 26 non-program divorce controls and 39 children from non-divorced families yielded improvements for the experimental group on teacher, parent, child and group leader measures of adjustment. Limitations of the study and directions for future research, including a follow up study, are discussed.
