Longitudinal survey of Reconnect clients  

September, 2003 

The Longitudinal survey of Reconnect clients is a statistical report on the longitudinal study that was a major data source for the evaluation of the Reconnect Program. The report provides a very detailed profile of the Reconnect client population stressing the complexity of problems this group of young people face. It assesses the impact that Reconnect has had on its clients, particularly in relation to their engagement with family and social supports. The survey also examines the impact that Reconnect has had on the general well-being of its clients and on their ability to engage with education and the community.
