This study reports short-term outcome evaluation results of a school-based peer counseling (PRC) program as implemented by North Forsyth High School during January 1990-February 1991. The PRC program is evaluated in terms of: 1) the content of the program as evaluated by the PRC trainees; 2) the quality of the PRC instructor as perceived by these trainees; 3) several instrumental objectives deduced from the PRC training program; and 4) the degree to which the program was able to reach other students at North Forsyth during the time the PRC was in operation. In the absence of a control group, the treatment effect of the program is determined in terms of individual growth curve models. Through the multiple evaluation designs employed in this research, it has been learned that a significantly larger proportion of students in the PRC group had more favorable attitude toward the content of the PRC program when compared to the content of what they learned from their regular school curricula. Furthermore, a significantly larger proportion of students in the PRC program reported more favorable attitude toward their instructor than their regular school teachers. The PRC program was able to elicit an improvement of trainee self-esteem (p less than .01) and their social values (p less than .05) between pre and post of the Peer Training Evaluation Instrument. In terms of client access, 18.4 percent of the totality of potential clients at North Forsyth have been reached through sixty-one peer counselors sanctioned by the school.
本研究报告了北福赛斯高中在1990年1月至1991年2月实施的一项校内同伴咨询（PRC）项目的短期成果评估结果。该PRC项目从以下几个方面进行评估：1）PRC学员评估的项目内容；2）这些学员所感知的PRC指导教师的质量；3）从PRC培训项目中推导出来的几个工具性目标；4）在PRC运作期间，该项目能够接触到北福赛斯其他学生的程度。在没有对照组的情况下，根据个体成长曲线模型确定该项目的治疗效果。通过本研究采用的多重评估设计，了解到与从常规学校课程中学到的内容相比，PRC组中对PRC项目内容持更积极态度的学生比例显著更高。此外，与常规学校教师相比，PRC项目中的学生对其指导教师持更积极态度的比例也显著更高。PRC项目能够使学员在同伴培训评估工具前后的自尊（p小于0.01）和社会价值观（p小于0.05）得到改善。在客户接触方面，通过学校批准的61名同伴咨询师，已接触到北福赛斯潜在客户总数的18.4%。
