Over the last few years alcohol consumption has decreased slightly among young people. Among those young people who consume alcohol, some are consuming increasing amounts, particularly 11 to 13-year-olds. There are a range of harms associated with alcohol use among young people, including those related to their physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Of particular concern with regard to longer-term harms are those young people who, by 16 years of age, are binge drinking or drinking so that they experience being very drunk. C4EO’s interactive data site enables local authority managers to evaluate their current position in relation to a range of key national indicators and to easily access publicly available comparative data on young people’s alcohol consumption.

The research review covers what has worked to date with regard to reducing alcohol consumption among young people. It is based on a rapid review of the research literature involving systematic searching and analysis of key data. It summarises the best available evidence that will help service providers to improve services and, ultimately, outcomes for children, young people and their families. The Institute of Education, University of London carried out this review on behalf of the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes in Children and Young People’s Services C4EO). The National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) conducted the data work. There is much research on young people’s consumption of alcohol and the factors associated with consumption.

The research review aims to improve understanding of targeted youth support services (TYS) by evaluating the evidence on: eligibility and uptake of TYS services, the impact of TYS on desirable outcomes, and the facilitators and barriers to effective TYS services. The review also looks at the available evidence on cost-effectiveness of TYS programmes. It is based on a rapid review of the research literature, involving systematic searching and analysis of key data. It summarises the best available evidence to help service providers improve services and, ultimately, outcomes for children, young people and their families. Matrix Evidence carried out this review on behalf of the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes in Children and Young People’s Services (C4EO). The National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) conducted the data work.

Evidence shows that targeting youth support (TYS) interventions can be effective in reducing teenage pregnancies and promoting positive behaviours. TYS has also been found to reduce emotional and behavioural problems, including delinquency/offending, school exclusion and truancy. Evidence largely from studies outside of the United Kingdom shows that TYS services increase the emotional wellbeing and confidence of young people as well as their participation in education. C4EO’s interactive data site enables local authority managers to evaluate their current position in relation to a range of key national indicators and to easily access publicly available comparative data on vulnerable young people and the prevalence of the issues that targeted youth support aims to address.

The review identified a number of key gaps in the understanding of parent and carer-focused support: a clear understanding of the needs of fathers and minority ethnic parents, comparisons across intervention types to determine relative effectiveness of different service offerings, evidence of child outcomes, measured using standardised questionnaires so that results from different studies can be compared more easily, or reporting outcomes from the child’s point of view, and studies reporting costs and evaluating programme effectiveness, so that high quality economic analysis can accurately assess the cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit of the different interventions.

This summary is taken from the research review which identifies what works when it comes to delivering support and intervention with mothers, fathers and carers of seven to 19-year olds in order to improve children’s and young people’s attainment, behaviour, and emotional outcomes. Based on a rapid review of the research, involving systematic searching of literature and presentation of key data, the review summarises the best available evidence to enable strategic managers to improve practice and outcomes for children and young people. Four research questions were explored : What are the family support needs of parents and carers of children aged seven to 19 years? What is the impact of school-based initiatives and community-based initiatives that support parents in improving their children’s outcomes? What works in engaging parents and carers in interventions to improve child outcomes? Are interventions which target parents cost-effective in improving children’s outcomes?

The Narrowing the Gap Final Year One Guidance is now available on the C4EO website. It updates initial guidance which was published in January 2008. It aims to answer in simple terms this question, "what is it that, if applied universally and pursued relentlessly, would make the most significant differences to the outcomes for vulnerable groups of children and young people?". It primarily focuses on the critical 'building blocks' necessary for 'narrowing the gap' - drawn from literature, research and data evidence, along with the expert views of children's sector practitioners.

The research review tells us what works in increasing the engagement of young people in positive activities. It is based on a rapid review of the research literature involving systematic searching and analysis of key data. It summarises the best available evidence that will help service providers to improve services and, ultimately, outcomes for children, young people and their families. The National Youth Agency carried out this review on behalf of the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes in Children and Young People’s Services (C4EO). The National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) conducted the data work. There is a long history of interest in the activity of young people outside of school and home and the impact this has on their future life chances. The value of encouraging young people’s participation in structured leisure-time activities (referred to here as ‘positive activities’) was a key strand of previous government policy and is implicit in the current Coalition Government’s Big Society policy and their flagship project for young people, National Citizen Service.

This summary provides concise and accessible guidance drawing on the three research reviews in the youth theme. The reviews set out to answer three questions relating to young people: how to increase young people’s engagement in positive activities, what works in terms of targeted youth support, and how to reduce alcohol consumption amongst young people.
