The purpose of the project is to apply integrative data analysis (IDA) techniques to research questions regarding positive youth development and youth’s contribution behaviors. IDA refers to a statistical approach in which researchers pool data from different studies together to gain more statistical power and a higher representation of groups that are small within any single data set. We are applying IDA techniques to data from studies that have been conducted by PIs affiliated with the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts.
