The problem
Intervention: Mentoring relationships with trained adult mentors who serve as role models, parental figures, and independence promoters
Who it was tested with: 148 adolescents aged 16-19 in residential care in Israel.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"The main goal of this study was to examine the incremental contribution of mentoring to hope among youth on the verge of leaving care above and beyond related personal characteristics and placement history. Results showed that...mentoring length and various mentoring functions were found to have a significant contribution to the prediction of hope." The study uses regression analysis to measure mentoring's contribution to hope while controlling for other variables, representing a predictive cross-sectional design.
Cross-sectional design cannot establish causality; no comparison group without mentoring; limited to Israeli context; outcomes measured at single timepoint rather than tracking changes over time
