DESCRIPTION
The Bridges to Success Evaluation is an evaluation of the impact of a Catholic Family Center program designed to help struggling families get back on their feet, called Bridges to Success. Bridges to Success is one of the first initiatives from the Rochester/Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative (RMAPI). The Bridges to Success Evaluation begins with an in-person, self-administered survey with roughly 300 individuals and families in a handful of neighborhoods in Rochester, New York. Participants who complete the baseline survey will be randomly selected for either a control or a treatment group. The Bridges to Success Evaluation will follow-up with participants one and two years after their initial baseline interview. The in-person (CAPI) interviews will last approximately 45-60 minutes in length. The study is designed to capture information about a broad range of life experiences. Examples of survey modules include employment, health situation, social support and community, service utilization, and plans and attitudes about the future.
