Evaluating the Efficacy of the Prodigy Prevention Program across Urban and Rural Locales
Abstract
Comorbid juvenile offenders are an overlooked, vulnerable population which tend to present with a more diagnostically serious
picture. Their arrest rates have dramatically increased over the last 10years, yet there is a dearth of prevention and intervention
programs available. This study examined the effects of the Prodigy Cultural Arts Program on at-risk and adjudicated youth
in a rural and an urban locale. Results suggest a significant improvement in family functioning overall as well as statistically
significant changes in mental health symptoms including Depression/Anxiety, Somatic, and Suicidal symptoms for both males
and females at urban and rural locales. Females appeared to especially benefit from the program. The findings here extend
our knowledge regarding viable alternatives for juvenile offenders with mental health symptoms, particularly females.
... The selected studies are characterized by their extreme heterogeneity in terms of study design, type and size of populations studied, their purpose, and outcomes. Of the 35 included studies, most of them were observational studies without a control group (n = 22) [30,50,[72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91], four were quasi-experimental prospective controlled studies [92][93][94][95], four were cross-sectional studies [96][97][98][99] and five were randomized control trials (RCTs) [18,[100][101][102][103]. ...
... Most of the studies (22) [18,50,[74][75][76]79,[82][83][84][85][86][87][90][91][92][93][94][95][96]100,101,103] used quantitative methods to assess their outcomes, while a smaller portion used a qualitative approach (7) [30,73,77,88,98,99,102] and six studies used mixed methods, with both qualitative and quantitative data collection or analysis techniques [72,78,80,81,89,97]. ...
... Regarding the participants, most of the studies were addressed to gatekeepers as school staff members, educators, university professors, college or high school students, social workers, and nonclinical employers in hospitals (twelve studies, 31.4%) [74,76,81,82,86,87,90,[92][93][94]100,103]; nine studies were addressed to youth, adolescents, college or high school students as vulnerable and high-risk populations [18,30,75,80,83,95,96,98,99], ten to health professionals in training [50,72,73,78,79,84,85,88,89,102], such as medical school students, nurse practitioners, residents, physicians, and pharmacy staff members. Two studies were addressed to the adult population [77,91], and finally, three had mixed recipients (i.e., schoolteachers and mental health professionals or gatekeepers and adolescents, as in the SEYLE study) [18,97,101]. ...
Suicide is a leading cause of death all over the world. Suicide prevention is possible and should be pursued through a variety of strategies. The importance of the arts for positive health outcomes has been increasingly evidenced. This scoping review aimed to identify the possible role of the performing arts—defined as a type of art performed through actions such as music, dance, or drama executed alive by an artist or other participant in the presence of an audience,—in suicide prevention programs. PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ProQuest Psychology Database, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched using terms in English for publications of original studies that included performing arts in suicide prevention programs. Thirty-five studies conducted between 1981 and 2021 were identified, of which only five were randomized clinical trials and four quasi-randomized studies. Interventions used different performing arts to improve awareness, self-efficacy, and soft skills relevant to suicide prevention. Studies were addressed mainly to gatekeepers but also directly to at-risk populations. While the study designs do not allow inferences to be drawn about the effectiveness of performing arts in preventing suicide, the review found that performing arts have been successfully implemented in suicide prevention programs. Research to evaluate the possible therapeutic benefit is warranted.
... Generally speaking, the vast majority of programmes build on prevention approaches based on a combination of protective factors and risk factors -whether or not they specifically refer to positive youth development as a concept. Prevention programmes often seek to bolster social, emotional, academic and personal skills Stewart et al. 2009;Berry et al. 2009;Sørensen 2008;CRG 2006;Crank et al. 2003;Brady et al. 2005;de Anda 2001). ...
... Significant setbacks were seen in two of the 20 studies. In other words, mentoring/leisure-time programmes may have many consequences, and the results vary with different subcategories of participants and the locations in which they are implemented (Baker et al. 1995;Hanlon et al. 2002;Stewart et al. 2009;Maxfield et al. 2003). ...
... The slightly older youth, generally aged around 15-16 years and above, seem to be studied in higher numbers for -and show -relational and emotional results, even though the outcomes are frequently less reliable due to the research designs applied (de Anda 2001;Derezotes 1995;Rapp-Paglicci et al. 2011;Stewart et al. 2009).This also applies, but to a smaller degree, to the age range from 10 to 19 years (Higginbotham et al. 2006;Rogers 2011). ...

... The artists are extensively trained in learning styles, the development of lesson plans, youth development, and skill building. Trained staff monitors and observe program implementation, lesson plans, and skill delivery in the classrooms [37]. ...
... Several studies have found the Prodigy program to be effective in reducing mental health symptoms, improving academic self-efficacy, reducing recidivism, and improving overall family functioning [6,37,38]. Although the program has been successful, for those youth who have attended, there are always youth who are unable to consistently attend a program in the community. ...
... It was surprising that more mental health symptoms were not reduced. Several studies [6,33,37] examining the original program (Prodigy) found significant reductions in mental health symptomology. However, the modification of the program to a school milieu may have impacted this effect or perhaps this school sample presented significantly lower initial mental health issues. ...
Middle schools are often faced with behaviorally disruptive students who concurrently struggle with their own academic problems as well as interfere with other students’ learning and functioning. Often times schools do not have the resources to provide other alternatives than school suspensions, even though suspensions often result in increasing academic difficulties and negative behavior. Previous studies have found early intervention programs delivered in a community setting, which combine self-regulation skills and art classes to be effective with at-risk youth. This study evaluated the adaptation of one such community-based program for delivery within middle schools and found promising results in problem-solving, social skills, and academic self-efficacy. School social workers advocating for the implementation of early interventions, like the PASS program, improve at –risk students’ probabilitiy of academic success.
... In another study consisting of 350 adolescent participants and their parents, a significant improvement in family functioning overall as well as statistically significant changes in mental health symptoms including depression/anxiety, somatic, and suicidal symptoms for both males and females at urban and rural locales were found. The quasi-experimental design with pre-posttest suggested that females appeared to especially benefit from the program (Stewart et al., 2009). In 2012, another quasi-experimental design was used with pre-posttests with 140 adolescent participants and again found a decrease in internalizing symptoms for females and externalizing symptoms for males in addition to improved family functioning and increased academic performance (Rapp-Paglicci et al., 2012). ...
Youth who live in high crime neighborhoods and have low family SES often lack key developmental resources like afterschool programs, sports, or arts activities. These neighborhoods can present risks for youths’ academic achievement, healthy behaviors, positive socialization, and learning of essential life skills. Afterschool programs, the arts, and life skills all have strong evidence to suggest their value for enhancing youth development. However, these components are rarely offered together in one program. This study evaluated the Prodigy Cultural Arts program, which is a cultural arts, afterschool program that embeds three evidence-based life skills. The free program is offered to “at-risk” 8–15-year-old youths at a community center. The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine any differences in life skills and risk/protective factors upon completion of the program. Youth self-report and parent/guardian reports regarding youth at pre/post were collected. Paired t tests and Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks tests were used. Statistically significant improvements in life skills and two protective factors were found. While further evaluations are warranted, these results provide some empirical evidence for inclusion of these life skills within an arts-based program.
Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States (US), with nearly 100 suicides occurring each day and over 36,000 dying by suicide each year. Among Veterans and current military, suicide is a national public health concern. Recent estimates suggest current or former military represent 20 percent of all known suicides in the US and the rate of suicides among Veterans utilizing Veterans Health Administration (VHA) services is estimated to be higher than the general population. The enormity of the problem has led to several major public health initiatives and a growth in research funding for suicide prevention. Despite recent suicide prevention efforts, the suicide rate in the US has changed relatively little over the past 100 years. The body of research on suicide prevention approaches has been reviewed previously by Gaynes and colleagues, and Mann and colleagues, and recent, similar work exists in the form of draft self-harm guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in 2011. As requested by the Veterans Affairs (VA)/Department of Defense (DoD) Evidence Based Practice Working Group (EBPWG) on suicide prevention, we examined recent research on suicidal self-directed violence as defined by Crosby et al. 2011. We update the work of Gaynes et al. and Mann et al. by systematically reviewing relevant literature that was not included in either report, and was published in 2005 through November 18, 2011. Though the focus of the report is on suicide prevention, we include as outcomes any type of suicidal self-directed violence, defined as “Behavior that is self-directed and deliberately results in injury or the potential for injury to oneself. There is evidence, whether implicit or explicit, of suicidal intent.”

The social problem of juvenile delinquency continues to place resource strain on the juvenile justice system and related institutions. Given the disproportionate representation of minorities in the justice system, generally, and the pronounced increase regarding system contact with Hispanics, specifically, there is a dire need for culturally competent prevention and early intervention efforts in terms of individual rehabilitation, public safety, and system relief. This study examined a cultural arts program, Prodigy, delivered in south Florida to participant groups including heavy Hispanic representation to explore the efficacy of prosocial programming, especially self-regulation skills, in offsetting delinquency risk factors. Results suggest that cultural arts programming is effective for allieviating depression, anxiety, and related mental health issues as well as bolstering positive familial relations. Discussion is oriented around the need for further research on cultural arts programming configured for Hispanic delinquency prevention.
The Prodigy Cultural Arts program provides art classes embedded with three types of self-regulation skills (problem solving, social skills, and anger management) in an after school community setting to at-risk youths. Empirical evidence supports the effectiveness of self-regulation skills programs and the arts in programs for at-risk youths, yet the impact of the environment on the youth participants is often ignored. This study examines neighborhood structural characteristics along with previously identified individual, mental health variables in school outcomes for adolescents attending the Prodigy Program. Findings suggest that neighborhood structural characteristics have some influence in program outcomes. Limitations of the study and future research are discussed.
The authors' goal was to determine the prevalence of major mental disorders and substance abuse in adolescents admitted to a juvenile detention center.
As part of a routine mental health screening, modules from the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children were administered to 50 youths (11-17 years old) at an urban juvenile detention center.
A high rate of affective disorder (42%) was found among these adolescents: 10 (20%) met criteria for mania, another 10 met criteria for major depressive disorder, and one met criteria for bipolar disorder, mixed type. Thirty (60%) met criteria for conduct disorder, and very high rates of alcohol, marijuana, and other substance dependence were found. There was a strong association between affective disorder and conduct disorder; adolescents with mania had much higher rates of reported abuse of substances other than alcohol or marijuana.
Juvenile offenders have high rates of affective disorder. Further studies are needed to examine the relationship of affective disorder to substance abuse as well as to antisocial behavior.
While there is a growing body of evidence that psychopathology is common among incarcerated boys, relatively little is known about the prevalence and manifestations of mental health problems among incarcerated girls. This study examines the incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a sample of 96 adolescent female offenders and its relation to socioemotional adjustment.
Self-report questionnaires were used to tap socioemotional adjustment, and a semistructured interview was conducted to determine PTSD symptomatology.
The results indicate that the rate of PTSD among incarcerated female delinquents not only is higher than that in the general population but surpasses the incidence of PTSD among incarcerated male delinquents. In addition, those who suffer from PTSD also tend to exhibit higher levels of distress and lower levels of self-restraint.
These findings provide a starting point for more detailed investigations of the relations between trauma, psychopathology, and violence and suggest that the study of trauma may offer a new way of looking at links between victim and perpetrator.
This study explored whether youth involved in joint service systems differed from single-agency users in terms of types of crimes committed and clinical functioning. Data from 4,924 youth involved in one county's public mental health and juvenile justice service systems were examined. Twenty percent of those youth receiving mental health services had recent arrest records, and 30% of youth arrested received mental health services. Of all youth arrested in the county, mental health service users had more arrests than non-mental health service users. A subsample of 94 mental health service users with arrests was matched on demographics with 94 mental health service users without arrests. Youth with arrests had a higher frequency of conduct disorder, higher Child Behavior Checklist Externalizing and Total Problem Scale scores, and more functional impairment on the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale as compared to youth without arrests. Implications for behavioral health service delivery were discussed.
To use cluster analysis to identify psychological profiles and related mental health symptoms among male and female juvenile offenders.
Juvenile offenders (N = 141) incarcerated in the California Youth Authority completed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument-Version 2 (MAYSI-2).
MMPI cluster analysis revealed four distinct profiles: two for male and two for female juvenile offenders. Among males, we identified one Normative cluster with no clinically elevated scores. A second male cluster, labeled Disorganized, exhibited clinical elevations on scales 8 (Schizophrenia), 6 (Paranoia), 4 (Psychopathic Deviate), and 7 (Psychasthenia). Among females, two clinically elevated profiles emerged. One Impulsive-Antisocial cluster consisted of clinical elevations on scale 4 (Psychopathic Deviate), which has been consistently associated with delinquent and antisocial behavior. The second cluster, labeled Irritable-Isolated, produced elevations on MMPI scales 4 (Psychopathic Deviate), 8 (Schizophrenia), 6 (Paranoia), and 7 (Psychasthenia). There were no significant sex, ethnicity, or offense differences across clusters, but the clusters exhibit distinct psychiatric profiles (MMPI) and mental health symptoms (MAYSI-2).
The findings indicate that not only do female offenders have more acute mental health symptoms and psychological disturbances than male offenders, they exhibit qualitatively distinct psychiatric profiles. Results reinforce the need for assessment of mental health symptoms for male and female juvenile offenders as well as sex-appropriate treatments.

This report presents comprehensive information on juvenile crime, violence, and victimization and on the juvenile justice system. This report brings together the latest available statistics from a variety of sources and includes numerous tables, graphs, and maps, accompanied by analyses in clear, nontechnical language. The report offers Congress, state legislators and other state and local policymakers, professors and teachers, juvenile justice professionals, and concerned citizens empirically based answers to frequently asked questions about the nature of juvenile crime and victimization and about the justice system's response. Citing the FBI and other data sources, the Report demonstrates that the rate of juvenile violent crime arrests has consistently decreased since 1994, falling to a level not seen since at least the 1970s. However, during this period of overall decline in juvenile violence, the female proportion of juvenile violent crime arrests has increased (especially for the crime of assault), marking an important change in the types of youth entering the juvenile justice system and in their programming needs. The report also describes when and where juvenile violent crime occurs, focusing attention on the critical afterschool hours. Statistics presented throughout the report find that racial disparity in the juvenile justice system is declining. The report also presents new findings from OJJDP's national Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement. In sum, this report offers a clear view of juvenile crime and the justice system's response at the beginning of the 21st century.
Recent trends show noticeable increases in the involvement of girls in the juvenile justice system. A disproportionately high number of these girls have co-occurring mental health diagnoses that are related in part to their victimization through sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Many girls also come from unstable families, whereas others are homeless, and a significant number have substance abuse problems, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety disorders. Not surprisingly, they have complex school histories, and they are at high risk for school failure and dropping out. In this article we discuss the unique challenges of girls with co-occurring disorders as they come into contact with systems that are not prepared to meet their needs. Further, concerns regarding inequity are discussed from the perspective of this vulnerable population: The persistent disconnect between the treatment needs of girls and the services provided in the juvenile justice system draws attention to the inequity of this system.
This paper describes the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD), a newly developed questionnaire designed to evaluate families according to the McMaster Model of Family Functioning. The FAD is made up of seven scales which measure Problem Solving, Communication, Roles, Affective Responsiveness, Affective Involvement, Behavior Control and General Functioning. The paper describes the procedures used to develop the FAD and presents scale means and scale reliabilities from a sample of 503 individuals.
Recent research suggests a link between childhood maltreatment and later involvement in delinquency. This study examines this issue using official and self-report data from the Rochester Youth Development Study. The analysis addresses three central issues: the magnitude of the relationship between early child maltreatment and later delinquency, official and self-reported; the possibility of spuriousness in this relationship; and the impact of more extensive measurement of maltreatment on later delinquency. A significant relationship between child maltreatment and self-reported and official delinquency is found and this relationship, especially for more serious forms of delinquency, remains when controlling for other factors. The results also suggest that more extensive maltreatment is related to higher rates of delinquency. Implications and suggestions for further research are discussed.
This paper reports a series of studies investigating the reliability and validity of the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD). The results indicated that the FAD has: (a) adequate test-retest reliability, (b) low correlations with social desirability, (c) moderate correlations with other self-report measures of family functioning, and (d) differentiates significantly between clinician-rated healthy and unhealthy families. Cut-off scores for identifying healthy and unhealthy families also were developed which have adequate sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, the relationships between the FAD, Family Unit Inventory, and FACES-II suggests that the cohension and adaptability scales from the FACES-II have a linear relationship with health/pathology.
Although research indicates that female offenders demonstrate higher rates of mental health symptoms than male offenders, the lack of data on directly comparable groups of delinquent and community youths has limited this comparison. The current study includes adolescents detained in juvenile detention facilities (girls = 157; boys = 276) or who resided in the community (girls = 193; boys = 242) from four different geographical locales. Results indicate that the relative magnitude of gender differences was greater in detained youths than in community youths, with detained girls exhibiting greater levels of symptomatology than would be predicted on the basis of gender or setting alone. Although it may be self-evident that detained populations exhibit higher levels of externalizing problems than community populations, the present study helps to quantify such differences by using common measures and demographically matched samples and demonstrates that detained versus community differences are larger among girls than among boys.
This report describes the development of the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument-Second Version (MAYSI-2), a brief screening measure to identify youths with potential mental, emotional, or behavioral problems at entry points in the juvenile justice system.
This 52-item self-report measure, with content relevant to common mental health problems in delinquent populations, was administered to 1,279 male and female youths, aged 12 to 17, in Massachusetts juvenile justice facilities. A subsample of youths also received the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI) and the Youth Self-Report (YSR). The instrument was subsequently administered to 3,804 male and female youths in California Youth Authority custody.
Factor analyses of the 52 items identified seven scales that were conceptually associated with various mental, emotional, and behavioral problems of youths, which were generally confirmed by separate factor analyses with the California sample. The scales manifested adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Most scales were substantially correlated with conceptually similar scales in the MACI and YSR, and they identified most youths who scored at clinically significant levels on those instruments.
The MAYSI-2 shows promise as a reliable and valid screening tool to assist juvenile justice staff in identifying youths who may need an immediate response to mental or emotional problems.
In recent years, the role of gender in the development of psychopathology has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers, theoreticians, and other professionals interested in the well-being of children and adolescents. This interest has taken diverse forms, ranging from the examination of sex differences in the prevalence of adjustment difficulties to the exploration of unique etiologies and trajectories in the development of psychopathology for boys versus girls. In this paper we (a) critically examine the current status of available theories, research, and methods related to the study of gender and psychopathology and provide recommendations for future work; (b) identify promising new trends that appear to have utility for enhancing our understanding of the role of gender in the development of adjustment difficulties; and (c) generate conclusions regarding gender and psychopathology by integrating information from past and present work with new ideas about fruitful directions for future inquiry.
To examine associations between the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument-Second Version (MAYSI-2) and Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children-Present State Voice Version (DISC-IV) and the extent to which they overlap in identifying youths with mental health concerns.
Among 325 New Jersey and South Carolina correctional youths, associations were examined using receiver operating characteristic analyses and logistic regression (binomial and multinomial).
MAYSI-2 subscales generally mapped best onto homotypic DISC-IV disorders; however, many subscales mapped almost as well onto heterotypic disorders. Alcohol/Drug Use and Suicide Ideation, respectively, identified youths reporting substance disorder and recent attempt; other subscales did not identify parallel DISC-IV disorders as well.
MAYSI-2 identifies some DISC-IV disorders better than others. Lack of overlap may result from MAYSI-2's combining diagnostic constructs into single subscales. Substantial percentages of disordered youths were not identified by corresponding subscales. In systems with multiple avenues of referral, the MAYSI-2 is a useful intake screen, but its utility as the sole means for identifying diagnoses for treatment purposes is limited. The authors differentiate between screening for emergent risk and service needs, recommending best practices for a comprehensive approach to mental health assessment among justice youth.
As awareness of the high prevalence of mental health problems among juvenile offenders has grown, researchers and practitioners have recognized the need for reliable and efficient methods of assessing such problems among large numbers of offenders to ensure that limited treatment resources are applied to those with the greatest need.
Between May 2000 and October 2002, 18,607 admissions were administered the computerized version of the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument Version 2 (MAYSI-2) 24 to 48 hours after their arrival at detention centers throughout Pennsylvania.
Approximately 70% of the males and 81% of the females scored above the clinical cutoff on at least one of the following five MAYSI-2 scales: Alcohol/Drug Use, Angry-Irritable, Depressed-Anxious, Somatic Complaints, and/or Suicide Ideation. Girls were more likely than boys to exhibit internalizing as well as externalizing problems. Mental health problems were most prevalent among white youths and least prevalent among African American youths. When youths repeated the screen upon subsequent visits to detention, their scores generally remained stable.
The findings suggest that the MAYSI-2 is a promising triage tool for emergent risk. The use of such a screen may reduce bias in allocation of treatment resources and improves our understanding of the nature of mental health problems in delinquent populations.
Although youth in the United States remain substantially more violent than adolescents and young adults in most industrial countries, the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) State-of-the-Science Conference on Preventing Violence and Related Health-Risking Social Behaviors in Adolescents identified many reasons for optimism about our capacity to develop effective prevention and intervention responses. The research is getting better and contrary to popular opinion we do know a lot about what does work. Future advances will depend upon our insistence on the use of effectiveness evidence and the development of a taxonomy which will facilitate cross disciplinary communication.
