The Boys and Girls Clubs of America is a group of community-based organizations that provide child and adolescent members with individual services, small group programs, and drop-in activities. The programs include cultural enrichment, health and physical education, social recreation, personal and educational development, citizenship and leadership development, and environmental education. The centers are also a good place to implement drug prevention programs such as the Self-Management and Resistance Training program (SMART). In an evaluation of Boys and Girls Clubs located in low-income housing developments and SMART, Schinke, Orlandi, and Cole (1992) examined five neighborhoods sites. The sites either had an existing club, a new club, or no club; all new clubs included SMART, while only some existing clubs had SMART. Since this was not an experimental design, the pre-test/post-test non-randomized comparison group design allows for results that are suggestive, not conclusive. New club sites had significantly lower prevalence rates of drug activity, juvenile crime, and higher parental involvement than sites that had no clubs. New club sites reached the lower prevalence rates of the existing clubs within a two-year period. These findings suggest that the existence of Boys and Girls Clubs can have a positive association with desired outcomes for high-risk neighborhoods, such as the drug use and delinquent behaviors of adolescents.
