Over the past five years about 2000 students have been enrolled in New York State PROMISE, which is a research study designed to help determine the most effective ways to help youth successfully transition to adulthood. Half of the youth have been in a control group and the other half are in an intervention group that received a targeted set of core services. On September 30 of this year, New York State PROMISE staff will no longer follow-up with families in the control group, although national evaluators will. These families will also continue to have access to all of the services and supports that New York State has to offer outside of PROMISE. The PROMISE team wants to thank the control group for its participation.
