Evaluating The Fourth R in Alaska
In 2011-2012, ANDVSA staff worked closely with Strategic Prevention Solutions (evaluator) and the Fourth-R collaborative to pilot the Fourth R evaluation. Seven high schools participated in cohort 1 of the evaluation project (Kodiak, Bethel, Kotzebue, Barrow, Thunder Mountain, Juneau Douglas, and Valdez), with 3 schools implementing the Fourth R curriculum and 4 schools participating as comparison schools.
In year 2 (2012-2013 school year), Cohort 1 follow-up data will be collected and entered. High schools participating in Year 2 data collection as part of Cohort 2 are: Kodiak, Bethel, Kotzebue, Cordova, Dillingham, Barrow, Wrangell, Kenai Central, Soldotna, and Homer.
