The questions were arranged in a five factor grouping consisting of postsecondary exposure, identity development, social development, academic enrichment, motivational aspect, and program impact. The interview consisted of 12 questions ranging from general demographics, to past and lasting experiences of the program.</p> <p>A majority of the subjects believed the C.H.A.M.P./GEAR-Up program had a positive lasting impact on their lives.
