该项目的目的是：（1）记录南非工人阶级社区辍学青少年的某些特征;（2）比较辍学者与在校学生冒险行为的普遍程度。 在抽样调查的548名青少年中，15.9%是辍学者;其中62.1%在上学不到9年后离开学校。 那些仍在上学的人更有可能从事自杀行为，但滥用药物和（女孩）发生性行为的可能性较小。 干预需要从小学开始开始，并解决辍学和冒险行为等相互关联的现象。
The aims of the project were: (1) to document selected characteristics of teenage school dropouts in a working-class South African community; and (2) to compare the prevalence of the risk-taking behaviour of the dropouts with those attending school. Of the 548 teenagers sampled, 15.9% were dropouts; of these 62.1% left school after less than 9 years of schooling. Those still attending school were more likely to engage in suicidal behaviour but less likely to abuse substances and (for girls) to have had sexual intercourse. Intervention needs to begin in primary school and to address the inter-related phenomena of dropping out and risk-taking behaviour.
