How effective is the CPR program?

 

In McKinley County, the students attending the CPR program are given a student evaluation on the last day.  This questionnaire helps us evaluate our program specifically in the areas of abstinence and alcohol/drug abuse and meets the evaluation requirements of the McKinley County Liquor Excise Tax Funding.

Based on these student evaluations, we have seen measurable results!

 

Question 1:  Overall (67%) and especially for the high school students (80%) the STD information was selected a one of the most valuable item learned.  The topic of the effects of alcohol/drug abuse on decision making and relationships was selected by 55% of the high school students and 45% of the younger students. 

 

Question 2: After participating in the program,  86% of the students chose abstinence or secondary virginity.  We hope that we have given them the information and tools to stick with this decision!

 

Question 3: Most students selected the correct answers.

 

Question 4: Most students selected the correct answers.

 

Question 5: 54% chose to abstain completely from alcohol and drugs.  Another 40% chose to be careful about using alcohol and drugs.  That's 94% overall which indicates a significant change in attitude towards drugs and alcohol use.

 

Question 6:  Most comments indicated that they wanted more information and specific ways they could stand up to the peer pressure. 

 

The students continually challenge us to update our information and have better videos and slides.  Rarely do we receive criticism for being to graphic about the STD's or being "preachy" in our presentations.  Students seem to appreciate the need to be told the truth about abusing sex, alcohol and drugs.  Given all the information they will be able to make decisions that will affect them the rest of their lives. 

 

 

For purposes of grading the students, there is an additional "test" that is left with teachers which will evaluate student knowledge of the information presented.  

STUDENT COMMENTS:

The most important empirical evidence of our effectiveness is "what kids are saying". Without question, CPR faces skeptics, often adults who cannot believe that teens can be convinced that waiting is worthwhile. Yet every year we receive hundreds of comments like these:
 

I learned to wait and not be stupid.

I've definitely decided not to have sex until marriage. Being stripped of my most valuable gift is not something I'll let anyone do.
 

You hit the nail on the head.  It scared the life out of us.

I learned how to have a relationship without sex.

Now I don't want to have sex or alcohol or drugs.

I learned what the real value of sex was all about. Everyone told me I should wait until I am married for sex, but they didn't tell me why. But this program taught me that sex is special and worth waiting for.

Thanks! I have learned how to date, how to control yourself and how to keep your eyes on your goals

Keep teaching kids, I learned a lot!

Good information, thanks for coming.

This time it actually got through. I finally understand.

A couple weeks ago I was thinking I wanted a baby. I thought that they would love me. I thought that a baby would make me feel better about myself. I have now decided that I don't want a baby. I want to wait till later. I now know I need to quit putting myself down saying I am fat, ugly and lots of other stuff. Thanks for everything."

This really helped me.  I'm going to save myself.

Thanks for coming.  I learned a lot & it scared me.  I told my little sister about this stuff & hopefully someone will make a presentation to her class.

I learned that it is OK to be a virgin.  Thanks for making me realize how special my life is.

 

EDUCATORS COMMENTS:

An important indication of the professionalism of our program is the comments from school professionals:

I give an A+ rating to CPR. After seeing the results of this program, it is evident that our students have gained a better knowledge of the complexity of sexuality, while understanding the importance of good self-esteem and respect for oneself and others.

CPR meets the needs of schools for a solid abstinence teaching. We have seen a marked increase in the students' awareness of dangers of being sexually involved and a positive change in attitude toward the abstinence choice.

I have appreciated the frankness of your program and the caring attitude of the teachers toward the students. I noticed several students who have been reclusive in the past opened up to your program and the information they were provided.

Our students, parents, and staff were all very impressed with the amount of knowledge, the emphasis place on abstinence, and the general presentation of the information and materials in the Creating Positive Relationships class. The staff and parents consider this program one of the best any of us has ever seen.
