Abstract
This project qualitatively examined the potential of scenic improvisation ("improv") for engaging young women of color as a possible means of promoting and enhancing health and wellness outcomes in this often-overlooked population. Seven young women of color (ages 15-18), accessing virtual after-school programming, participated in a three-session professionally facilitated improv workshop series. Participants provided insights through in-depth pre- and postproject qualitative interviews about their experiences. Participants indicated that improv boosted their self-esteem and strengthened their social connections. Participants were enthusiastic about accessing further improv opportunities, noting that improv should be embedded into other youth-serving programs and health-promotion efforts, as such approaches were deemed as particularly needed among young women of color. Inclusion of improv activities in intervention and prevention efforts would benefit from additional exploration as ways by which health and wellness programs and supports might be innovated and tailored to the specific needs and preferences of young women of color.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
