An outside independent evaluator is contracted to conduct program evaluation utilizing standardized, valid and reliable measures:
Clean Slate involved 1,114 middle school youth from Los Angeles County, California. High school youth: 986
A 35-item questionnaire, including three demographic items, was administered before the start of the program (pre-test) and a 40-item questionnaire was administered at the end of the program (post-test). High school: 38/43 questions.
The changes from pre-test to post-test are from the same group of students who participated in the program.
“Strongly Agree”, “Agree” and “Somewhat Agree” responses were collapsed into a single category of total responses for both pre-test and post-test and represented as a percentage shift. The same was done for responses in the “Disagree” category.
