On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
There is a common assumption in scientific and policy discourse that, for greatest effect, interventions need to be applied early in life, when children’s brain function and behaviour are thought to be more malleable. Surprisingly, very few studies have tested directly whether common interventions for child development, mental health and behaviour are more effective when delivered earlier, rather than later in childhood. We assess this question using data from multiple trials of parenting interventions in Europe, and updated reviews from around the world, drawing on both individual participant (IPD) and aggregate level meta-analytic approaches. Implications for other fields of child development, and for policy will be discussed.
