Youth’s baseline rating of leadership experience, number of friends attending BGC, diversity of youth activities at Club, and self-rating ofwhether youth behaves fairly are included as control variables because they were predictors of attendance. Data derive from youth surveys and Club attendanceinformation. Excluded categories are females, Latino/a youth, eighth graders, no free lunch, and Omaha. A separate regression was run for each outcome. Thestandardized coefficients from the Poisson regressions are standardized odds ratios.+p
