This Research Update explores key themes emerging from 13 recent reports added to the OST Research and Evaluation Bibliography in September 2008. It examines two major themes from these reports: (a) data collection for the purpose of continuous program improvement and (b) a focus on middle and high school youth served in OST programs.
