The purpose of the Imperial Valley Regional Occupational Program (IVROP) ReadyforLIFE program evaluation is to determine whether primary (i.e., behaviors) and secondary (i.e., attitudes) outcomes improve for youth participants after completing the ReadyforLIFE program. Understanding the ways in which the IVROP ReadyforLIFE program supports healthy partner relationships and economic stability is important for those providing services to at-risk youth populations.
After being informed about the study and giving consent, participants will enroll in a program that collects data at enrollment, at the end of the program, and 12 months following program enrollment. The length of the program ranges from four weeks up to one year, depending on the setting and the number of optional workshops students opt to receive. Research questions in this study are framed by a descriptive evaluation design to assess whether outcomes improve for at-risk youth who participate in the IVROP ReadyforLIFE program. Primary and secondary outcomes are assessed before and one year after participants complete core curricula - Relationships Smart Plus, Mind Matters, and Money Habitudes (pre to follow-up). Primary outcome measures will indicate whether behavior improved for healthy partner relationships and financial stability. Secondary outcome measures will indicate whether improvements were made in the attitudes and expectations that facilitate and reflect behavior for healthy partner relationships and financial stability.

| Healthy Partner Relationship Behavior Measurement #1 | Will participants report significantly healthier relationship behaviors one year after enrolling into the IVROP ReadyforLIFE program? Items measured include: 5 items: levels of reported skill with key relationship behaviors (categories, 4-point scale); measured on the Healthy Relationship Behavior Scale #1 as: 1 = I am extremely good at this 2 = I am good at this 3 = I am bad at this 4 = I am extremely bad at this Lower scores indicate a higher perceived skill in healthy relationship behaviors, so the lower the rating, the better the score. The 5 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 5 to create the construct score. The lower the score, the better the outcome. maximum score of 4.0, minimum score of 1.0. | Change from baseline in behavior in relationship behavior (interaction with romantic partner at 12 months from enrollment |
| Healthy Partner Relationship Behavior Measurement #2 | 1B) Will participants report significantly healthier relationship behaviors one year after enrolling into the IVROP ReadyforLIFE program? Items measured include: 6 items: frequency of engaging in key relationship behaviors (categories, 5-point scale); measured on the Healthy Relationship Behavior Scale #2 as: 1 = None of the time 2 = Some of the time 3 = Half of the time 4 = Most of the time 5 = All of the time Higher scores indicate a higher perceived frequency of engaging in unhealthy relationship behaviors, so the higher the rating, the worse the score. Reverse scoring will have the higher score always equal to showing improvement. The 6 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 6 to create the construct score. The lower the score, the better the outcome. maximum score of 5.0, minimum score of 1.0 | change from baseline in behavior to 12-months after program completion |
| Money Management Scale (Financial Behavior Measurement #1) | Will participants report significantly healthier financial behavior one year after enrolling into the IVROP ReadyforLIFE program? Items measured include: 4 items: frequency of engaging in healthy money management behaviors (categories, 5-point scale); measured on the Money Management Scale #1 as: 1 = Never 2 = Rarely 3 = Sometimes 4 = Often 5 = Always Higher scores indicate a greater frequency of engaging in healthy money management behaviors, so the higher the rating, the better the score. The 4 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 4 to create the construct score. The higher the score, the better the outcome. maximum score of 5.0, minimum score of 1.0 |

| Healthy Partner Relationship Attitudes Measurement #1 | Will participants report significantly healthier partner relationship attitudes one year after enrolling into the IVROP ReadyforLIFE program? Items measured include: 9 items: levels of agreement with relationship beliefs (categories, 4-point); measured on the Healthy Relationship Attitudes #1 Scale as: 1 = Strongly Agree 2 = Agree 3 = Disagree 4 = Strongly Disagree Higher scores indicate a higher disagreement with unhealthy relationship attitudes, so the higher the rating, the better the score. The 9 items are measured as a construct. All items are added together and divided by 9 to create the construct score. The higher the score, the better the outcome. maximum score of 4.0, minimum score of 1.0. |
