The local chapter of Big Brothers, Big Sisters provides adult mentors to children in the neighborhood. Do you think this could help reduce youth violence in this neighborhood?
INCORRECT. (YES is correct)
CORRECT!
Research has shown that the presence of a positive adult role model can be a protective factor against youth violence. The adult provides guidance to the young person that may help school attendance, improve academic performance, better relationships with parents and peers, and decrease the likelihood of drug and alcohol use.
