Methods • Study Population In 1993, Congress authorized the National Guard to conduct alternative schools for the high school drop out population – a group now recognized as a key public concern. As can be expected, learning disabilities are a common characteristic in this special population. Of particular significance to this project is the research that has shown visual dysfunction to be a key risk factor in learning disabilities, especially reading skills.
Methods • Study Population • Socially‐at‐risk youth between 16 – 18 years of age • All subjects were high school dropouts and performing 4 – 6 grades below expectations • All subjects were enrolled in the Youth ChalleNGe High School program operated by the Oregon National Guard near Bend, Oregon during the period of January –June 2006 • Following the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki, informed consent was arranged through the administrative offices of the Youth ChalleNGe High School
