R1201.01: Federal Government Study on TC 1976
Dr. Catherine Hess
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, funded the first year of this study to evaluate the long term results of Teen Challenge program. This study focused on all students in the class of 1968 that entered Teen Challenge in Brooklyn, NY, and then transferred to Teen Challenge in Rehrersburg, PA, for the second half of their training. This follow-up study seven years later (1975) sought to determine six variables: what proportion of the program participants were still drug free, no legal involvements, employed or pursuing education, a part of a family unit, participating in church activities, and physical and mental health.
