Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2004, $559,998)
This project will evaluate the impact of Girl's and Boy's town short term residential placement for delinquent girls. Three sites will be evaluated (Newark, Philadelphia, and New Orleans) using a quasi-experimental design. The samples will consist of 315 girls exposed to the program and 366 girls who receive traditional services. Short term outcomes to be assessed include changes in academic performance, number of treatment plan goals met, and overall adjustment/behavior. The long term goals to be measured include recidivism (rearrest, time to rearrest, and readjudication), academic performance, employment, pregnancy, substance use, and change in behavior. Data will be collected through official files, GBT files, and survey.
