Abstract:
This report presents interim findings from a large-scale demonstration project and evaluation of Teen PEP as implemented in a sample of New Jersey and North Carolina high schools. The program's implementers had previously evaluated Teen PEP using pre-post methods and found encouraging results (Jennings et al. 2014; Princeton Center for Leadership Training n.d.a, n.d.b). Building on these results, we designed the present study using more rigorous research methods and a larger sample of schools. As described later in this chapter, we designed the evaluation to assess the impacts of the program on the 9th-grade students who received the Teen PEP workshops. This report describes the impacts of the program on student outcomes about six months after the workshops concluded. A future report will examine the program's longer-term impacts measured about 18 months after the workshops concluded. A series of earlier reports (Asheer et al. 2014; see also Layzer et al. 2014; Layzer and Rosapep 2012, 2013) presented findings from a corresponding implementation study of the program.
