Help Neighborhood Center Program, School Year 1975-1976.
Siperstein, Gary N.
This report evaluated the impact of the Help-Neighborhood Center Program which was designed to inform parents of fifth through eighth grade students about health problems and community concerns. Four thousand elementary and junior high school students and 100 parents participated in workshops on venereal disease, drug abuse, welfare rights, mental health, feminine hygiene, consumer affairs, communication in the community, alcoholism, sickle-cell anemia, and dental care. The center served as a liaison linking community and school requests for information with local resource people and provider organizations. To evaluate the program, pre and post test questionnaire information was gathered from parents and students throughout the school year. The findings of this report indicate that students had significant gains in knowledge as a result of participation in the workshops; however, the extent of improved knowledge by parents could not be assessed because of poor questionnaire response.
