Abstract: Societal costs of antisocial behavior are high, and interventions have moderate effects. Preventive approaches could therefore be a valuable addition. Furthermore, biological factors in the development of antisocial behavior are still mostly neglected in prevention and intervention approaches regarding antisocial behavior. In this narrative review we focus on early family support programs which take stress-physiological factors of young children into account and aim to prevent behavioral- and mental health problems in offspring. We discuss how more insight into bio-behavioral effects of early family interventions could ameliorate preventive approaches for antisocial behavior.
