Abstract

While many evaluation studies fail to show positive outcomes for individual programs, we'd agree with Benard that such results shouldn't deter us from continuing programs that empower the participants to direct their own future. 4-H CARES demonstrates that Extension has the capacity to develop and implement such programs. A continued emphasis on good research will help establish our credibility in prevention education.
