PY - 2024 Y1 - 2024/10/02 DO - 10.18235/0013307 AB - After-school programs (ASP) with psychology-based curricula improved students behavior at school by 23 percentage points compared to extracurricular-only programs in violent neighborhoods of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. The impact on improved behavior was largest for the highest-risk students. Programs with a mindfulness curriculum were more effective than those focused on character development, reducing dropout and improving fluid intelligence. UR - https://doi.org/10.18235/0013307 ER -
