RIDGE CREEK PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS
(Mar. 1, 2004) Ridge Creek Inc., a short term wilderness program based in Dahlonega, Georgia, 706-867-1720, http://www.ridgecreek.org, reported the results of surveys mailed to families of graduates on the 1, 3, 6, and 12 month anniversaries of program completion. Parents evaluating nine areas of the program indicated
50% showed Great Improvement
38% showed Improvement
12% showed No Improvement.
A further note included that 59% of the parents indicating No Improvement did not follow discharge recommendations.
****
How many parents were surveyed?
Were all parents surveyed or a select few?
Did an independent third-party conduct the survey?
How many opinions changed between the first and twelfth months?
What are the ?discharge recommendations??
How many attend RC who are not already enrolled at HLA, and does the discharge recommendations include enrolling the kid in HLA?
How could parents gauge effectiveness and/or improvement post RC if their kid was already enrolled at HLA and not at home?

RobertBruce:
What are you suggesting that HLA might not have been objective in conducting this survey and may not be providing all nessecary information?

How dare you!

They recieved an award last year from......someone.....for....something. Of which I dont know but Im sure Susie the Bullfrog could ask her boss and theyd tell us.

Troll Control:
A "survey" is in NO WAY a "study."  Let's see a study, not a marketing tool like a survey.

uh, that's not a survey or a study, but a commendation, perhaps awarded based on faulty information and in-house 'survies' provided by HLA.
how were they selected/nominated? did sen. jackson have a kid enrolled there? were the factoids provided by HLA scrutinized, or just accepted at face value?
