The Puentes a la Secundaria / Bridges to High School program is a family-focused prevention program to help Mexican/ Mexican American adolescents succeed in school and other important life areas, such as work and relationships. In collaboration with several schools, approximately 550 Mexican-origin 7th graders and their parents participated in the program between 2003 and 2005. Currently, we are interviewing families 5 years after their participation in the program to assess program effects on adolescents and families. We also intend to interview families again at 7 years after their participation. As a research assistant on the Puentes/Bridges team, you will be involved in the development of the battery of measures to be administered to study participants at this 7-year follow-up as well as gain general knowledge and skills that will make you a competitive candidate for a graduate program in clinical psychology.
