Stephanie A. Bradley, Ph.D.
Objective
•
Identify needs for prevention, intervention, and
innovative/promising programs to fill gaps in
services
•
To include:
 Basic needs assessment related to delinquency
prevention to identify unaddressed risk factors in
current menu
 Analysis of currently supported programs
 Quality outcomes?
 Still filling a need?
Process
1.
Examine and analyze statewide data sources
2.
Identify heightened areas of risk and vulnerability
3.
Review current VPP programs’ match to needs
4.
Identify additional programs to match unmet needs
through program registries, evidence base, and
emerging research
5.
Rank candidate programs’ evidence of effectiveness
6.
Recommend programs based on ranking and need
Key Considerations
•
Across youth development
 In-utero/infancy, elementary through high school,
transition to adulthood
•
Across contexts (levels)
 Individual, family, school, community
 Gender, race/ethnicity
•
Across continuum of risk
 Universal prevention to placement
Data Sources Across Risk
•
PAYS 2011 & 2013 Statewide – evaluate risk and
protective factors, problem behaviors among school
attending youth (“universal” population)
•
2012 PA Juvenile Court Dispositions – examine
characteristics of youth making contact with the juvenile
justice system
•
2007-09 JCJC Recidivism – evaluate needs for higher
risk youth entering and returning to the juvenile justice
system
Registries and Research
•
Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development
•
Crimesolutions.gov; Nat’l Institute of Justice
•
California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child
Welfare
•
National Registry of Evidence-based Programs &
Practices (NREPP), SAMHSA
•
Striving to Reduce Youth Violence Everywhere
(STRYVE), CDC
•
Prevention Research Center, awareness of emerging
evidence
Findings &
Recommendations
Need:
Positive Youth Development
•
Community opportunities for prosocial involvement; all
grades
•
Relational and physical aggression and suspensions
spike in 8th grade
•
Depression, 38% of female students report feeling sad
or depressed on most days compared to 24% of males.
Recommendation:
Positive Action: Blueprints Model program, across
elementary + middle school, integrated into school day.
Focus on social-emotional learning, character
development.
Significant effects across many prosocial and
antisocial behaviors and emotional disturbance.
Need:
ATOD Prevention
 10th grade youth report higher rates of being drunk at
school and being arrested relative to 8th grade youth
(2.45x, 1.43x)
 The most widely used substance is alcohol, with 44% of
seniors reporting using within the last 30 days.
 Low perceived risk of drug use
 The rate of decline is lowest for drug related dispositions
Recommendations:
Current VP programs address these needs:
 Life Skills Training – school-based, middle school
 Project Toward No Drug Abuse – school-based, high
school
 SFP 10-14 – middle & high school aged youth
Need:
Family Functioning/Coping
•
46% of all youth involved in delinquency dispositions
reported their biological parents as never married.
•
80% of youth who recidivate come from disrupted family
situations (i.e., never married, divorced, separated, one or
both parents deceased).
• Youth with both parents deceased recidivated at the
highest rate (32%) of all family situations
• Parental attitudes favorable to antisocial behaviors (55)

ROI is calculated as the total costs (cost * youth) subtracted from total benefits (benefits *
youth).
*The cost that CSPV invested in this project for training and materials is not incorporated
into these figures, as it was not an expense that PA directly incurred.
