This paper reports on a meta-analysis of after-school programs intended to promote personal and social skills in children and adolescents.
Abstract
One important implication of current findings is that ASPs should contain components to foster the personal and social skills of youth because youth can benefit in multiple ways if these components are offered. The second implication is that further research is warranted on identifying program characteristics that can help us understand why some programs are more successful than others.
