A Meta‐Analysis of After‐School Programs That Seek to Promote Personal and Social Skills in Children and Adolescents
Abstract
A meta‐analysis of after‐school programs that seek to enhance the personal and social skills of children and adolescents indicated that, compared to controls, participants demonstrated significant increases in their self‐perceptions and bonding to school, positive social behaviors, school grades and levels of academic achievement, and significant reductions in problem behaviors. The presence of four recommended practices associated with previously effective skill training (SAFE: sequenced, active, focused, and explicit) moderated several program outcomes. One important implication of current findings is that ASPs should contain components to foster the personal and social skills of youth because youth can benefit in multiple ways if these components are offered. The second implication is that further research is warranted on identifying program characteristics that can help us understand why some programs are more successful than others.

“They also examined several moderator variables and found support for moderation on four outcomes for programs that used specific practices (i.e., SAFE: sequenced, active, focused, and explicit) compared to those that did not use those practices.”

“Also, Durlak and colleagues estimated an effect size of zero for all outcomes when the primary study authors reported the result as non-significant and did not report enough data to calculate a true effect size.”

“This is problematic because, although all included studies in Durlak et al.’s review used a comparison group, 65 % of the included studies were quasi-experiments and thus potentially suffered from selection bias. Without adjusting for baseline differences, the effects could be over- or under-estimated.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
