초록/요약
The current study builds the evidence base on the effects of Summer Youth Employment Programs (SYEP) both geographically and methodologically by linking SYEP participant records to a comprehensive integrated longi-tudinal database to better understand programmatic impacts on youth who completed participation in an SYEP in Cleveland, Ohio. The study matches SYEP participants and unselected applicants on various observed cova-riates using the Child Household Integrated Longitudinal Data (CHILD) System and relies upon propensity score matching techniques to estimate program completion impacts on educational and criminal justice system involvement outcomes. SYEP completion is associated with a lower prevalence of juvenile offense filings and incarceration events, better school attendance, and improved graduation rates 1-2 years following program participation.
