Perceptions of Chances for Success

Perceptions of Chances for Success: (subject-baseline, subject-follow-up, collateral-baseline, collateral-follow-up, subject-release) Questions assessing beliefs about how well the subject will do later in life. Questions are asked of both the subject (reporting on his/her beliefs, at subject baseline and subject follow-up) and the collateral (reporting on his/her beliefs of the subject's closest friend's chances, at collateral baseline). In the release interview, these questions assess their post release plans. The release interview also contains eight items that measure the adolescent's perception of the helpfulness of the program in the youth's reintegration into the community.
