McGuirk J. Taken from: Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC), All rights reserved to McGuirk J.(2001) Youth At Risk: Is Technology An Answer? Project ReportA study examined how technology is being used in "youth at risk" programs through a survey sent to programs in the technical and further education and adult and communtiy sector in New South Wales. About 214 surveys were sent with a response rate of 18 percent. Findings and issues arising from a literature review and the survey may be summarized under these headings: definitions of youth at risk; voice of youth; reasons for early school leaving; effects of early school leaving; fragmentation of services; access to technology; and need for professional development. The literature review, survey data, and participants at youth conferences were in agreement about what makes for effective youth programs.
