Summary
This study tests a 9-month mentoring program for 8th and 9th graders who have experienced child abuse or neglect and are involved with child welfare. The program pairs teens with graduate student mentors who help them set goals in relationships, education, activities, career, and health. Researchers want to see if this support can prevent delinquency, substance use, and school problems compared to teens who don't get the program.
