对旨在减少生物科学少数群体流失的教育干预计划进行了全面、定量的评估，以确定此类努力是否足以解决该问题。在控制人口学和学术准备的情况下，与对照组相比，项目参与者坚持基础数学和科学课程以及从生物学毕业的可能性更大。本科生研究大大增加了取得积极毕业成果的几率。总体而言，项目参与者也比大学毕业生更有可能继续攻读研究生。这项评估证明了此类计划在增加少数群体在科学领域的代表性方面的价值。 (C) 2004 年 Wiley 期刊公司。
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.
