Preventing Teen Pregnancy and Academic Failure: Experimental Evaluation of a Developmentally Based Approach.
Allen, Joseph P.; Philliber, Susan; Herrling, Scott; Kuperminc, Gabriel P.
Child Development, v68 n4 p729-42 Aug 1997
Conducted an experimental evaluation of Teen Outreach, a national volunteer service program. Found that rates of pregnancy, school failure, and academic suspension, at exit nine months later, were substantially lower in the Teen Outreach group, even after accounting for group differences at entry. Results suggest potential value of interventions addressing developmental tasks rather than focusing on individual behaviors. (Author/KB)
