Positive Youth Development. Impact of a School-Based Program” (Journal of School Health, 2011) used a quasi-experimental design that analyzed data from 159 low-income schools from 2001-2007. Outcomes were 5th grade student scores (n=13,109) on the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), which was administered state-wide. Scores from students attending schools with Playworks programming were compared to scores from students attending schools without Playworks programming. After one year of exposure to Playworks, students showed statistically significant increases in the following four protective factors: problem-solving skills, meaningful participation in school, goals and aspirations, and physical activity. All four protective factors are associated with positive social and academic outcomes. With strong design and methodology (internal/external validity), outcomes associated with this evaluation can be generalized to schools with similar characteristics implementing the full Playworks program. Stanford University completed a quasi-experimental study of Playworks, “Playing Fair: The Contribution of High-Functioning Recess to Overall School Climate in Low-Income Elementary Schools” (Journal of School Health, January 2015), in six newly implementing schools all sharing similar characteristics including high poverty, high percentage of racial diversity and academic challenges. Qualitative (structured interviews and observations) and quantitative (teacher and student written surveys) data was collected in the fall and again in the spring to create a pre/post analysis. The study concluded that students felt more included, more connected to the school and their Playworks coach, had a higher sense of belonging at school and felt more physically and emotionally safe.
