• Does a school-based intervention for 8th graders lower their risk for involvement in criminal or violent activity?
![Page 6: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” “Alive.” Jamaica Integrated Community Development Project.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56649f155503460f94c29de4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
OUTLINE
Population: 8th graders; 14 schools; 7 communities

STUDY DESIGN
• Eligibility criteria: Standardised exam results, school grades, attendance, contact with the justice system, disruptive behaviour in school, sex (as a ratio)
• Randomisation (possibly stratified)

MEASUREMENT
• Registration form personal data, parent consent, student assent
• Attendance records• Pre- and post-testing• School grades / rank• Standardised tests: Grade Nine Achievement

NEXT STEPS
• Collection and, as necessary, computerisation of administrative data
• Use data to identify eligible population• Create/Find and standardise pre- and post-test• Determine curriculum (inc. subjects)• Identify tutor recruitment strategy• Identify student-tutor ratio• Pilot testing?
