The effects of the PARTY program on youths' risk-taking behaviours and beliefs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The PARTY (Prevent Alcohol Related Trauma in Youth) program is a one-day hospital-based program that targets youth in Grade 10. The programs' intention is to educate youth in the dangers of irresponsible alcohol use and how this contributes to preventable trauma. The study of the PARTY program used a 12-item questionnaire to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in changing youths' risk-taking behaviors. The main objectives were to (a) carry out psychometric analysis of the questionnaire, (b) assess cognitive changes in regards to risk-taking behaviors and beliefs of Grade 10 students three months after completing the PARTY program, and (c) assess gender, location, and school structure differences in risk-taking behaviors and beliefs. The study utilized a mixed design as the program is using a pre-and post-program survey for data collection. The study sample consisted of Grade 10 students from senior and junior secondary schools in the School District 57 region that included one rural senior secondary school, three urban senior secondary schools, one urban junior secondary school and a private senior secondary school. Two of the schools had an insufficient number of participants completing all three times of measurement and were not included in analyses involving individual schools. A total of280 students completed the first questionnaire and of those 162 (57.8%) completed all three times of measure and were used in the study. Results indicate that the PARTY program has a positive effect on the risk-taking behaviors and beliefs of urban girls and boys, and rural girls attending senior secondary schools. The PARTY program showed no significant effect on the risk-taking behaviors and beliefs of junior secondary boys and girls, or rural boys.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
