PROGRAM EVALUATION
Thanks to our wonderful facilitators, MBF Child Safety Matters reached over 463,000 students during the 2017-2018 school year. Helpful in that effort, MBF Child Safety Matters is now considered an evidence-based program. We received the final report from our two-year randomized, controlled trial led by Dr. David Finkelhor. The results are very positive, showing that students who received our program had significantly higher post-test scores than the control group who had not received the lessons. We are continuing to build our evidence base as we conduct a 6-month follow-up to assess those same students’ learning retention. The researchers anticipate publishing the full study results in a peer-reviewed journal in the coming year.
