From the Paper:

"The results of the study will help determine what components of the mentoring program are necessary for a treatment strategy to benefit adolescents. The study will also help evaluate the extent to which adolescents view such early intervention based programs as meaningful and beneficial. The findings will be evaluated with regard to student's perceptions regarding substance abuse and deviant behaviors before, during and after treatment. Further studies will benefit this population by focusing on the long term outcomes of such treatment programs, to determine if beneficial, how long the effects of such programs last on users and problem behaviors."
