Description:
To examine the evidence base on OST programs and better understand the possible effects of programs, we reviewed meta-analyses and large-scale, rigorous experimental and quasi-experimental evaluations of after-school and summer programs. We focused primarily on recent (from 2000 on) evaluations of multipurpose programs. Here, we provide a complete list of studies reviewed and their key findings. Findings are categorized as: - Positive: A desired outcome and statistically significant at the 0.05 level. - Negative: A nondesirable outcome and statistically significant at the 0.05 level. - Null: Outcome that was not statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Note that most reviewed studies were not corrected for multiple hypothesis testing. (author abstract)
