TI  - Effects of the Positive Action Program on Indicators of Positive Youth 
      Development Among Urban Youth.
PG  - 16-28
AB  - This study evaluated effects of Positive Action, a school-based social-emotional 
      and character development (SECD) intervention, on indicators of positive youth 
      development (PYD) among a sample of low-income, ethnic minority youth attending 
      14 urban schools. The study used a matched-pair, cluster-randomized controlled 
      design at the school level. A multiple-measure self-report protocol assessed four 
      key strengths and resources for PYD: self-concept, peer affiliations, ethics, and 
      social skills. Students (n=1170) were assessed from grades 3 to 8, the duration 
      of the intervention, with drop-outs and late entrants included in analyses. 
      Growth curve analyses revealed evidence of favorable program effects on each of 
      the four types of resources. The study contributes to PYD research by providing 
      evidence for school-based interventions in low-income, urban contexts for ethnic 
      minority youth.
