Summary

This trial will evaluate whether the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America program can help prevent crime and delinquency.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for youth aged 10-16 who may benefit from the Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring program. They must be able to speak and read English or Spanish, have not been previously matched with a mentor through BBBSA, don't have severe disabilities as reported by parents, and aren't siblings of current participants.
What is being tested?
The study tests if the Big Brothers Big Sisters Community-Based Mentoring program can prevent crime and delinquency in young people. About 2,500 participants will be randomly placed into either the mentoring program or a control group without treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
