First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at whether the AVANCE-Houston Building Futures program helps at-risk youth aged 14-18 build healthier relationships and life skills. The program includes 7 weekly workshops on relationship skills plus support from family and career coaches. Researchers measured changes in how youth behave and think about relationships. The goal is to learn what works best for this population to improve future programs.
