Area of Science:

  • Youth Development
  • Public Health
  • Program Evaluation

Background:

  • Girls on the Run (GOTR) is an after-school program using physical activity to foster positive youth development.
  • The program culminates in a 5K run, but empirical data on participant changes and evaluation methods are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Girls on the Run program by identifying key outcomes and developing an assessment instrument.
  • To address the lack of empirical data on GOTR participant changes aligned with its curriculum.

Main Methods:

  • Curriculum content analysis and stakeholder focus groups (N=11) to identify program outcomes.
  • Community-based participatory research with program personnel to refine outcome identification.
  • Design and pilot testing of an instrument (N=104) to assess theoretically grounded outcomes over time.

Main Results:

  • A positive and collaborative evaluation process was established.
  • Key information was gathered for a comprehensive impact evaluation of GOTR.
  • The study facilitated future evaluation development for physical activity-based positive youth development programs.

Conclusions:

  • The collaborative evaluation approach successfully identified critical outcomes for Girls on the Run.
  • The developed instrument provides a foundation for assessing program impact.
  • This research supports the advancement of evaluation methodologies in youth development programs.
