The robust existing literature on the positive impact of CC demonstrates a need to identify other factors that can continue to improve outcomes for youth. This study looks at the impact of sibling participation on the intended impacts of CC, specifically self-reported anxiety, self-reported depression, and self-reported belongingness within CC moderated by age gap between sibling participants. Participants included 654 youth (range = 10 to 18, 59% female, 58.2% Caucasian) enrolled in CC, with 25% of the youth having completed the program with a sibling. Results found that there was no evidence for significant differences in change in key outcomes (anxiety, depression, belongingness in CC) based on whether youth participated with a sibling within this study. Age gap between siblings was also not a significant moderator of these associations. While this study was limited based on its use of mostly self-report measures and change being only considered via immediate pre-test post-test differences, the results imply that sibling relationship quality may matter more than merely the participation of a sibling within CC. born digital masters theses English eng Colorado State University.
