The Empowering Students Project is an evaluation of the effectiveness of a psychoeducational program for adolescents, intended to help youth build healthy relationship skills while supporting positive socioemotional development and promoting successful transition to young adulthood.
Participants complete measures of the primary outcomes immediately prior to beginning the intervention and again immediately after completion of the program. Analyses will examine within-person change from pre-test to post-test.
