Sample View help for Sample
From April 2016 through April 2018, all residents admitted to the residential facility based on court placement were invited to participate. After active consent and assent the adolescent participants completed screening to ensure eligibility. Youth who were wards of the state in custody of Department of Corrections were not eligible for the study. There was no minimum stay required for participation. Two additional criteria were required for participation: (1) If the youth demonstrated low reading skills, defined as one grade level below grade placement, or 15 points below the mean of 100 on a standardized reading measure, and (2) if the youth's cognitive abilities were measured above a standard score of 70, and they were not currently identified by their school as a student with cognitive/intellectual disabilities.
