Research Highlights*

Jean Grossman, in conjunction with Jean Rhodes (University of Massachusetts-Boston) and Carla Herrera (Public/Private Ventures), developed a set of standardized outcome measures that could be used by all BBBS agencies and other youth mentoring programs to gauge outcomes. The measures included indicators related to academic performance, behavior, psychological wellbeing, parent/peer relationships, and vocational aspirations. The second phase of the study, set for 2008, will test out the measurement package with a set of agencies, having case managers use the instrument to track the progress matches are making over 12 months.
