US Pilot Studies |
| The MEND Foundation, in partnership with MEND Central, SPARK and the NYC Parks and Recreation Department, completed three pilot studies of the MEND 7-13 Program in Rego Park, NY, to assess the adaptation of the UK program content to the US. All Programs were successful adaptations of MEND 7-13 to US standards. Additionally, the MEND 7-13 Program materials have been translated into Spanish. |
