Abstract

The project aims at the characterization of psychological variables of children who will undergo a program of intervention and health promotion based on cognitive-behavioral approach. A systematic review of programs internationally known showed that a better characterization of the sample would have avoided trouble and offered more complete analysis. The data analysis will be done through the scores on tests that assess various psychological variables and descriptive statistics concerning them. (AU)
