This study compares the effects of a multi-faceted intervention for juvenile court probationers with the effects of "standard" probation services. Approximately half of the subjects were randomly assigned to the intervention program (Project Explore) consisting of outdoor adventure, social skills training, and parent skills training components, and the other half were maintained on standard probation. Results indicate that while both groups showed substantial reductions in status and criminal offenses over a two-year follow-up period, there were no significant differences between the groups, suggesting that Project Explore was no more effective than probation services that allow caseworkers close and meaningful contact with clients.
