One school

Based on the survey data available from participants at one school at the 22-month evaluation followup, the youth maintained their appropriate attitudes about drug use, positive peer associations, resistance to peer pressure, frequency of delinquent behaviors, and positive relationships with adults after completing the program. These findings were echoed during focus groups with the 22 followup participants. Most of these youth reported that they felt more mature, worked harder at school, and tried to be better people as a result of being involved in Urban smARTS.
