This summary reviews the research conducted on youth mentoring programs from the mid-1980s through the late 1990s. A number of studies have documented the varied benefits youth derive through participation in programmatic mentoring ranging from improved relationships to a reduction in the initiation of drug and alcohol use. Not all mentors or mentoring programs, however, are equally effective. Strategies that mentors use to foster the development of positive relationships and effective program practices, related to screening, training, and ongoing support are also discussed. Finally, some questions that remain to be addressed by the mentoring field are presented.
本综述回顾了从20世纪80年代中期到90年代后期对青少年辅导项目开展的研究。一些研究记录了青少年通过参与系统性辅导所获得的各种益处，从改善人际关系到减少吸毒和酗酒行为的发生。然而，并非所有的辅导者或辅导项目都同样有效。文中还讨论了辅导者用来促进积极关系发展的策略以及与筛选、培训和持续支持相关的有效项目实践。最后，提出了一些辅导领域有待解决的问题。
