The current status of CARTEENS programs in Ohio: A descriptive study

Due to the increasing number of juvenile traffic offenders, the Ohio CARTEENS program was established in 1987. The purpose of the study was to describe the 44 CARTEENS programs through a Zommerang, on-line survey. The majority of the CARTEENS programs utilized a post-test to determine knowledge gained and program objectives achieved. Recommendations included giving CARTEENS more responsibility for curriculum development and delivery, using a variety of teaching techniques to engage multiple learning styles. Utilizing an officer team to assistant teen leaders develop life skills (leadership and responsibility0 was another recommendation.
