of children with emotional or behavioural disorders. The final study, known as ​The Duke
Early Childhood Study​, is a much broader inspection on the behavioural and emotional

motivated by to combat issues such as itself, and provide a safe, sanctuarial, environment
to those affected and treat them with the medical care they need.
