  • 147 participants completed the full study, 66 of which were first generation and 81 of which were continuing generation. The majority of first-generation students were also low income while a minority of continuing-generation students were low income. Participants race and ethnicity was not significantly different.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the difference-education intervention, they compared it with a control condition which was similar to bridge programs which are currently used by several colleges and universities.
