The program was named by youth mentors,\r\n\"Saving Lives, Inspiring Youth\" (or SLIY henceforth).\r\nCross-age peer mentoring programs promise to solve problems and\r\nineffectiveness of other types of mentoring programs, but few have been\r\nsystematically studied in high-poverty, high-crime communities. In\r\ncollaboration with several community organizations, a prospective approach was\r\nimplemented to follow cross-age mentors and mentees for up to one year of\r\nmentoring. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to examine\r\npossible changes in a number of relevant constructs, and to understand program\r\nimpact in greater depth.\r\nMentoring sessions lasting one hour took place each week, with an hour debriefing session\r\nfor mentors following each mentoring session. Quantitative data were collected\r\npre, post and at a 9-12 month follow-up. Throughout the mentoring intervention,\r\nseveral forms of qualitative data were gathered to make it possible for youth\r\nvoices to permeate understanding findings, to illuminate program processes that\r\nyouth perceived as helpful and not helpful, and to provide multiple\r\nperspectives on youths' resilience and their understanding of the risks they\r\nfaced. Both mentors and community collaborators were trained and engaged as\r\ncommunity researchers. School-based data were also collected. Demographic variables include participants' age, race, and grade in school.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR37494.v1", "title": "Cross-age Peer Mentoring to Enhance Resilience Among Low-Income Urban Youth Living in High Violence Chicago Communities, 2014-2019"}], "identifier": "4286", "issued": "2021-07-27T09:27:39", "keyword": ["peer groups", "youths at risk"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2021-07-27T09:53:39", "programCode": ["011:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Cross-age Peer Mentoring to Enhance Resilience Among Low-Income Urban Youth Living in High Violence Chicago Communities, 2014-2019"}
