Brief Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and perceived usefulness of the Values in Perspective (VIP) program in reducing and preventing engagement in risky behaviors among youths. The VIP program is a structured, values-based intervention designed to promote self-awareness, ethical decision-making, and long-term goal setting in young people. This study aims to assess how participation in the program influences youths' attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors related to common adolescent risk factors such as substance use, unsafe sexual activity, and delinquency. The goal is to determine whether the VIP program can serve as a scalable and culturally relevant prevention strategy to promote positive youth development and reduce high-risk behaviors in middle and high school-aged youths.
