While there are many studies of mentoring programs in the literature, few provide a controlled quantitative analysis of the effects of mentoring. Results from these studies are mixed, suggesting the need for an integrative quantitative review. In this study, meta-analytic procedures were used to clarify these findings and provide direction for both the practice and research of mentoring programs for at-risk youth. |
