Go Grrrls

Workbook cover

Go Grrrls is a gender-specific intervention curriculum for early adolescent girls that tries to promote a positive transition to adulthood.[1][2] It is a social skills building and psychoeducational program administered in a group setting—targeted towards girls in their early teens.[3][4] When compared to a control group using a self-reported evaluation, the program has shown a positive effect on girls' self-efficacy, body image and assertiveness.[5][6][7] A pilot program was launched in 1995 and a final version was published in 1999.[citation needed] It is administered by a team of two or more co-facilitators.[4][8] The program was designed by Craig LeCroy and Janice Daley.[9] LeCroy also published an experimental evaluation of the program.[10][11]
