reduction of conduct problems for participants

Prävention

Evaluations have found that children who completed the mentoring programme with Chance UK had a statistically significant improvement in their behaviour. Specific evaluations of Chance UK have found that a high proportion of their children leave the programme with improved conduct scores, many of which indicate the children no longer have conduct problems. However, without a control group – to identify outcomes which would have occurred even if the child had not been part of the Chance UK programme (the counterfactual) - and follow up data - to assess the lasting impact - a robust conclusion of the impact of the programme is not possible.
