Effectiveness Research Abstracts
At PREP we take our curricula development very seriously. We not only care deeply about what is taught, but how it is received. Drs. Howard Markman and Scott Stanley have conducted longitudinal research studies to determine if the curricula PREP, Inc. develops is indeed teaching what we set out to teach. Essentially, we test that the participants who learn from our curriculum walk away with positive outcomes and results.
The articles listed below fall into the Effectiveness Research category. These articles focus on the results our participants see after taking a workshop using PREP, Inc. materials.
