Description of the data and file structure

This data was collected to examine psychosocial factors (e.g., pro academic identity, intellectual risk taking, social support, intentions, participatory community citizenship, etc.) for improving academic outcomes and wellbeing for participants in an out-of-school-time/STEM+Medicine academic program. Participants psychosocial responses were compared to a control group.

Code/software

Analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS and AMOS Statistics software packages (Versions 28 and 29).

Access information

Other publicly accessible locations of the data:

• There are no other publicly accessible locations of the data.

Data was derived from the following sources:

• Data was collected from HSTA and non-HSTA participants

Human subjects data

Explicit consent was received from participants through providing a cover letter to be read by participants prior to completing the on-line survey. We inform participants that we would like to publish their responses in research papers to tell others about HSTA. In addition, we inform them that we will not publish nor report their name or any information that identifies them and that their responses will be grouped together with other students who are in the program. Finally at the end of each survey, participants are asked to answer "yes" or "no" to the following statement: "I agree to participate in this research study."
