“…Bloomberg et al 87 reported on an intervention delivered in Minnesota, USA, targeting Mexican American youth aged 12-17 years. The intervention, of unstated duration, was delivered by a community-based provider and involved support for youth participation in planning and implementing a community service project.…”

The effects of Positive Youth Development interventions on substance use, violence and inequalities: systematic review of theories of change, processes and outcomes

BackgroundPositive Youth Development (PYD) delivered outside school aims to enable young people to develop positive assets such as relationships and confidence, rather than to merely address risk. Existing reviews of PYD effects on substance use or violence are old and unsystematic.ObjectivesTo systematically review evidence to answer the following questions: what theories of change inform PYD interventions addressing substance use and violence? What characteristics of participants and contexts are identified as barriers to and facilitators of implementation and receipt in process evaluations of PYD? What is the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of PYD in reducing substance use and violence? What characteristics of participants and contexts appear to moderate, or are necessary and sufficient for, PYD effectiveness?Data sourcesA total of 21 bibliographic databases; 35 websites and contacting authors.Review methodsWe included reports published in English since 1985 and reporting on theories of change, as well as process, outcome and economic evaluations of PYD targeting 11- to 18-year-olds and addressing substance use or violence. References were screened on title/abstract and, where appropriate, on full report. Data extraction and quality assessment used Critical Appraisal Skills Programme, Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Co-ordinating Centre and Cochrane tools. Theories of change and process evaluations were qualitatively metasynthesised. Outcome evaluations were synthesised narratively and meta-analytically.Results32,394 unique references were identified and 48 were included. A total of 16 reports described theories, 13 (10 studies) evaluated processes and 25 (10 studies) evaluated outcomes.Theories of changePYD interventions aim to offer opportunities for young people to develop positive ‘assets’ such as skills and confidence. These are theorised to promote and be promoted by young people’s ‘intentional self-regulation’, which involves reflecting on behaviour; determining goals; using existing resources to pursue these; and redirecting effort when thwarted. This enables ‘developmental regulation’, namely individuals capitalising on other opportunities to promote personal development. Positive assets thus accrued reduce health risks by reducing the impact on individuals of environmental risk or by ameliorating the impact of such risks. The literature offers limited insights beyond these general ideas.Process evaluationsCommunity engagement ensured that programmes were accessible and appealing. Staff capacity and continuity were crucial factors but often challenging when programmes could not offer full-time jobs. Tensions arose between a desire to empower participants to choose activities and a requirement for them to undertake a breadth of activities.Outcome evaluationsMeta-analyses of all combined outcomes and of short-term alcohol use, illicit drug use and smoking found no significant effects. There were small, statistically significant, short-term effects for an omnibus measure of substance use and for violence. We could not undertake metaregression to assess sociodemographic moderators but narrative synthesis suggested no clear pattern of effects by sex. We found no economic evaluations.LimitationsInsufficient studies precluded qualitative comparative analyses.ConclusionsHow PYD might promote health is currently undertheorised. Implementation can be challenging. We found little evidence that current PYD interventions delivered outside school reduce substance use or violence. However, these may not constitute a test of the effectiveness of the PYD model, as some included interventions that, although meeting our inclusion criteria, were not exemplars of PYD.Future workFurther evaluations should assess interventions employing PYD theory of change.Study registrationThis study is registered as PROSPERO CRD42013005439.FundingThe National Institute for Health Research Public Health Research programme.

“…Many benefits appear in students with strong leadership skills. As previously stated, those who exhibit leadership tend to have higher self-esteem, more career goals, and a greater rate of high school completion (Bloomberg et al, 2003). By participating in the SPA program and developing these qualities, students increase their chances at having greater successes in their future.…”

“…This is important to know, because the development of leadership skills in a SPA program brings a dimension of outcomes that can have a long-term impact on a child's life beyond just intrinsically experiencing the arts. The development of young leaders can also have a profound impact on the quality of students' lives as they come into adulthood and enter leadership roles in the work force (Bloomberg, Ganey, Alba, Quintero, & Alcantara, 2003;MacNeil, 2000). According to Bloomberg and colleagues (2003), young leaders show higher career goals, increased self-esteem, and greater high school completion rates.…”

“…ecently, there has been a renewed interest by educators and other service professionals in developing programs that focus on working with underserved children (Bloomberg, Ganey, Alba, Quintero, & Alvarez, 2003;Catalano, Berglund, Ryan, Lonczak, & Hawkins, 2004;Hellison, Cutforth, Kallusky, Martinek, Parker, & Stiehl, 2000;Lerner, 2006;McLaughlin, 2000;Menestrel & Perkins, 2007). The youth development field has emerged as one of the most promising responses to challenges that underserved youth face on a daily basis.…”
