In an effort to attract minority students to health careers, a special summer education health career experience was developed. A matched comparison group design was utilized to determine the value of this program. Data were collected on both the participants and a matched comparison group three months before and six months after the program. Differences on most of the measures were not significant; however, there was a significant difference on stability of first career choice, indicating that a special summer program can and does have an effect on the participants. The study makes it clear that program effects cannot be assumed unless a follow-up evaluation is undertaken.
为了吸引少数族裔学生投身健康领域职业，开展了一项特殊的暑期健康教育职业体验活动。采用匹配比较组设计来确定该项目的价值。在项目开始前三个月和结束后六个月，收集了参与者和匹配比较组的数据。大多数指标上的差异并不显著；然而，在首次职业选择的稳定性方面存在显著差异，这表明特殊的暑期项目能够且确实对参与者产生了影响。该研究明确表明，除非进行后续评估，否则不能假定项目会产生效果。
