Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of social skills training program on behavioral problems among children with conduct disorder. Methodology: A quasi-experimental design "pre and post-test design" was utilized. A convenient sample of 30 children diagnosed with conduct disorder was selected. Three tools were used to conduct the current study, Socio-demographic data sheet, Social Skills Questionnaire and Behavioral Problems Questionnaire-Parent Version. Results: The children with conduct disorder exhibited highly improvement in social skills and behavioral problems after participating in social skills training program sessions (P=0.005,0.0001) respectively. After training, total mean scores of behavioral problems decreased from 66.9 to 50.3, social skills increased from 83 to 89. Conclusion: The study concluded that, social skills training program is highly effective in improving behavioral problems among children with conduct disorder. Recommendation: This study recommended that, social skills training programs should be conducted in clinical and non-clinical settings with large sample size included for more confident results and more generalization of results to the community.
