Youth participating in Project BELONG displayed better behavior
at school than control group members.
Teachers rated them as more engaged in classroom activities than
the control group. The
teachers were also less likely to report behavior problems for the
mentored youth, and the percentage of mentored youth referred to the
school administration for severe discipline problems decreased from pre-
to post-intervention (19 percent for mentored youth vs. 12 percent for the
control group). BLNG
