New York developed positive youth development (YD) outcome indicators to enhance adolescent well-being. The process prioritized strength-based metrics, resulting in a refined list for statewide use in planning and evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Adolescent well-being is monitored through various indicators.
  • A need exists for consistent, strength-based youth development (YD) metrics across New York State (NYS).
  • Existing indicators may not fully capture positive youth development aspects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and refine a set of statewide positive youth development (YD) outcome indicators for NYS.
  • To create metrics for planning, grant writing, evaluation, and outcome monitoring.
  • To complement existing adolescent well-being indicators.

Main Methods:

  • A workgroup reviewed existing indicators and stakeholder nominations.
  • Expert input and policy maker feedback (card sorts, ratings) narrowed the list.

  • Concept mapping and hierarchical cluster analysis identified indicator clusters.
  • Ratings from policy makers, program providers, and young adults informed final selection.

    • Main Results:

    • A list of 91 indicators was narrowed down through expert and policy maker input.
    • Concept mapping identified nine key clusters of indicators.
    • Policy makers, program providers, and young adults rated indicators, showing high intergroup agreement (correlations ≥ 0.93).
    • The highest-rated indicators were predominantly strength-based.

    Conclusions:

    • A final list of 15 positive youth development (YD) indicators was selected.
    • The developed indicators are strength-based and suitable for statewide application in NYS.
    • These metrics will promote consistency and information sharing in youth programming and evaluation.
