Editor’s Comments: The Winter issue provides readers with an overview of several recent your development research projects, innovative program findings and suggestions for evaluation strategies. We begin with the work of Pamela Nippolt Larson, highlighting her study of a five-state pilot project to train adult STEM facilitators. Jang and Dworkin share their investigation of parent satisfaction with out-of-school time programs. The topic of “Youth Voice” is addressed by Bading, Boyd, Lawver, Ulmer and Boleman. Professionals working with adolescent dietary behaviors will find two helpful articles that address this critical topic. Teen program designs, capacity building and global education guidelines are also included in the Winter issue.
