The current manuscript describes the iterative development of an afterschool intervention aimed at fostering supportive relationships between adolescents and adults from their everyday lives. Project DREAM (Developing Resourcefulness, Engagement, Acceptance, and Mentoring) is a novel afterschool preventive intervention aimed at promoting youths' improved academic outcomes via gains in social and emotional development and their connectedness with nonparental adults. The purpose of the iterative development process was to improve the intervention to make it maximally usable and acceptable to the intended users and participants. The iterative development process was informed by data collected from advisory boards, focus groups, interviews, and observations of program sessions. In the current article, we describe the methods implemented as part of this process and fully describe the resulting intervention revisions completed across the 2-year period. We also summarize lessons learned.
当前手稿描述了一项课外干预措施的迭代开发过程，该干预旨在促进青少年与日常生活中的成年人之间建立支持性的关系。“梦想计划”（培养应变能力、参与度、接纳度和指导能力）是一项新型的课外预防性干预措施，旨在通过促进青少年社会和情感发展以及他们与非父母成年人的联系来提高其学业成绩。迭代开发过程的目的是改进干预措施，使其对目标用户和参与者具有最大的可用性和可接受性。该迭代开发过程参考了从咨询委员会、焦点小组、访谈以及项目课程观察中收集到的数据。在本文中，我们描述了作为该过程一部分所实施的方法，并全面介绍了在两年期间完成的干预措施修订情况。我们还总结了经验教训。
