Participation in after-school programs is an important lever to improve adolescents' health and well-being; however, well-defined measurement of the quality of participation in these programs is limited. The present study validated a newly designed measure of participation in a sample of urban youth enrolled in community-based after-school programs. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to test the structure of the 20-item Tiffany-Eckenrode Program Participation Scale (TEPPS). Results suggest that the scale is comprised of four subscales (Personal Development, Voice/Influence, Safety/Support and Community Engagement). The TEPPS was also correlated with several commonly used measures of program participation. Findings from this paper provide support for the use of the newly designed scale as a valid and reliable measure of quality program participation by youth.
参与课外项目是改善青少年健康和福祉的一个重要杠杆；然而，对这些项目参与质量进行明确界定的衡量方法有限。本研究在参与社区课外项目的城市青年样本中验证了一种新设计的参与度衡量方法。采用探索性和验证性因素分析来检验20项蒂芙尼 - 埃肯罗德项目参与量表（TEPPS）的结构。结果表明，该量表由四个子量表组成（个人发展、发言权/影响力、安全/支持和社区参与）。TEPPS还与几种常用的项目参与度衡量方法相关。本文的研究结果为使用新设计的量表作为衡量青少年高质量项目参与度的有效且可靠的方法提供了支持。
