There is a need to build the evidence base of early interventions to promote children's health and development in the UK. Chance UK is a voluntary sector organisation based in London that delivers a 12-month mentoring programme for primary school children identified by teachers and parents as having behavioural and emotional difficulties. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the programme in terms of children's behaviour and emotional well-being; this is the primary outcome of the trial.
METHODS/DESIGN: A randomised controlled trial will be conducted in which participants are randomly allocated on a dynamic basis to one of two possible arms: the intervention arm (n = 123) will be offered the mentoring programme, and the control arm (n = 123) will be offered services as usual. Outcome data will be collected at three points: pre-intervention (baseline), mid-way through the mentoring year (c.9 months after randomisation) and post- mentoring programme (c.16 months after randomisation).
This study will further enhance the evidence for early intervention mentoring programmes for child behaviour and emotional well-being in the UK.

在英国，有必要建立促进儿童健康和发展的早期干预措施的证据基础。Chance UK 是一家总部位于伦敦的志愿组织，为被教师和家长认定有行为和情绪问题的小学生提供为期 12 个月的辅导计划。该研究的目的是确定该计划在儿童行为和情绪健康方面的有效性；这是试验的主要结果。
方法/设计：将进行一项随机对照试验，参与者将基于动态基础随机分配到两个可能的组之一：干预组（n=123）将获得辅导计划，对照组（n=123）将获得常规服务。将在三个时间点收集结果数据：干预前（基线）、辅导年中期（随机分组后约 9 个月）和辅导后（随机分组后约 16 个月）。
这项研究将进一步增强英国儿童行为和情绪健康早期干预辅导计划的证据。
当前对照试验 ISRCTN47154925。2014 年 9 月 9 日回顾性注册。
