Specifically, the study explores (a) program impact on sexual health behavior and substance abuse, (b) the degree to which strengths-based variables emphasized in the curriculum (i.e., socioemotional competency, goal-oriented behavior, and dating beliefs) contributed to positive health behaviors, and (c) the influence of demographic variables on program effectiveness. Descriptive statistical analyses, independent samples t-tests, and multiple linear regressions were used to analyze data. Youth overwhelmingly reported that the program significantly contributed to reductions in overall substance use (93.2%) and sexual risk-taking behaviors (98.3%). However, high schoolers were impacted to a greater degree than middle schoolers by programmatic efforts to reduce substance use (t102.04=-4.53, p=&lt;.001), increase socioemotional competency (t108.81=-5.99, p=&lt;.001), and increase goal-oriented behavior (t27.72=-3.24, p=.003). A multiple regression was run to predict sexual health behavior from socioemotional competency, goal-oriented behavior, and dating beliefs. The model statistically significantly predicted sexual health behavior, F(3, 153) = 25.74, p &lt; .001, R2 = .335, however, only socioemotional competency added statistically significantly to the prediction, p &lt; .001. A multiple regression was run to predict substance use from socioemotional competency, goal-oriented behavior, and dating beliefs.
