对一项旨在减少生物科学专业少数民族人员流失的教育干预方案进行了全面的定量评价，以确定这种努力是否充分解决了问题。与对照组相比，项目参与者坚持学习基础数学和科学课程，并从生物学专业毕业的几率更大，控制了人口统计学和学术准备。本科研究大大增加了积极毕业结果的几率。与大学毕业生相比，项目参与者更有可能继续研究生学习。这一评估证明了此类项目在增加少数族裔在科学领域的代表性方面的价值。(C) 2004 Wiley期刊有限公司
A comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of an educational intervention program designed to reduce the attrition of minorities from the biological sciences was undertaken to ascertain whether such efforts adequately address the problem. Program participants had greater odds of persisting in basic math and science courses, and of graduating in biology, than did a comparison group, controlling for demoaphics and academic preparation. Undergraduate research greatly increased the odds of positive graduation outcomes. Program participants were also more likely to pursue graduate study than were university graduates overall. This evaluation demonstrates the value of such programs in increasing the representation of minorities in science. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
