Abstract:      The "campsite experiment" was created as a pilot project to
               evaluate the effectiveness of a stringently defined diet as an
               intervention to improve the physical and emotional behavior of
               conduct problem children.  Six 8-13 yr olds were
               randomly assigned to either the treatment or control group. 
               Two sets of measurement data were provided by the parents
               without knowledge of the group assignments after a 4-day
               experimental period.  Ss were also pre- and posttested to
               evaluate their ability to discriminate and reproduce a grid of
               similar letter forms.  Positive changes in behavior, observed
               by the parents, were attributed to the dietary intervention. 
               Pre- and posttest measurements confirmed observed differences. 
               It is hoped that primary consideration will be given by health
               professionals to this method of less interventive behavioral
               management.  (31 ref) (PsycINFO Database Copyright 1985
