PROGRAM ATTENDANCE protocol

In order to understand the dosage of program services received in the treatment group, we will collect program attendance data from the program sites and the extent to which the core program content was covered during the program sessions (see Instrument #7: Fidelity Logs). Program attendance will be collected either through 1) extractions from pre-existing administrative records data on program attendance already collected by the program or 2) a data collection tool created by Mathematica Policy Research (see Table 6.1). Data will need to be provided for each youth in the evaluation sample randomized to receive programming, so that it can be linked to the outcome data for analysis. A unique identifier will be assigned for each youth so that no sensitive information will be transmitted. That identifier will be used to match attendance data to outcome data.
