The current study builds the evidence base on the effects of Summer Youth Employment Programs (SYEP) both geographically and methodologically by linking SYEP participant records to a comprehensive integrated longitudinal database to better understand programmatic impacts on youth who completed participation in an SYEP in Cleveland, Ohio. The study matches SYEP participants and unselected applicants on various observed covariates using the Child Household Integrated Longitudinal Data (CHILD) System and relies upon propensity score matching techniques to estimate program completion impacts on educational and criminal justice system involvement outcomes. SYEP completion is associated with a lower prevalence of juvenile offense filings and incarceration events, better school attendance, and improved graduation rates 1-2 years following program participation.
本研究通过将 SYEP 参与者记录与一个全面的综合纵向数据库相联系，在地理和方法上为夏季青年就业计划 (SYEP) 的效果建立了证据基础，以便更好地了解在克利夫兰，俄亥俄州完成 SYEP 的青年的计划影响。该研究使用儿童家庭综合纵向数据 (CHILD) 系统将 SYEP 参与者和未被选中的申请人与各种观察到的协变量进行匹配，并依靠倾向得分匹配技术来估计对教育和刑事司法系统参与结果的计划完成影响。SYEP 的完成与青少年犯罪记录和监禁事件的发生率较低、更好的出勤率以及参与计划后 1-2 年的毕业率提高有关。
