A Peer-Led High School Transition Program Increases Graduation Rates Among Latino Males

In this study, 268 adolescents (9th grade youth) who participated in a peer-led high school transition program were compared to youth in a control group to examine the program’s impact on high school graduation rates. Male program participants were significantly more likely to graduate from high school in four years compared to those who did not; however, there was no significant difference for female students.
