The report describes these as exploratory analyses, not confirmatory main findings, for eighth graders from high-poverty rural schools exposed to Roads to Success. It reports "positive impacts on talking to school staff about career/school plans"; no effect size is printed.
"However, exploratory analyses suggest positive impacts on talking to school staff about career/school plans and on gaining confidence in two areas: choosing careers and understanding what is required for career success."
