青年辅导可以对高危青年的生活产生深远影响。本研究提出了校园军团计划，一个有时间限制的（12周），结构化的辅导计划，为高风险的青年（11-18岁），从准实验试点评估的结果。基线和干预后的问题行为数据，从315犯罪的青少年被用于多元回归分析。在考虑了基线组差异、干预前评分和人口统计学协变量后，Campus Corps参与者（n=187，63.1%男性）报告参与问题行为较少，对问题行为的接受程度较低，干预后大麻使用的自主感较对照组（n=128，66.4%男性）更强。相反，没有观察到干预后组的同伴拒绝技能或酒精使用的自主性差异。校园军团计划的设计和补充的初步调查结果的描述有助于不断增长的知识基础的青年辅导计划的设计和成果。
Youth mentoring can have a profound impact on the lives of high-risk youth. This study presents the Campus Corps program, a time-limited (12-week), structured mentoring program for high-risk youth (ages 11–18), and results from a quasi-experimental pilot evaluation. Baseline and post-intervention problem behavior data from 315 offending youth were used in multiple regression analyses. After accounting for baseline group differences, pre-intervention scores, and demographic covariates, Campus Corps participants (n=187, 63.1% male) reported less engagement in problem behavior, lower acceptance of problem behavior, and greater sense of autonomy from marijuana use post-intervention than participants in the comparison condition (n=128, 66.4% male). Conversely, post-intervention group differences were not observed for peer refusal skills or autonomy from alcohol use. A description of the Campus Corps program design and supplemental preliminary findings contribute to the growing knowledge base of youth mentoring program designs and outcomes.
