- This research investigated the rate of self referrals among adolescent black males in a metropolitan middle school. Eighth grade black males were randomly placed In either the control or experimental groups. Baseline and Intervention data were collected on the rate these students were self referred for counseling services. Data was collected during the first and second semesters. Reading test scores from the Iowa Test of Basic Skills were analyzed for two consecutive years to discern any statistically significant differences between the control and experimental groups. Report cards were reviewed and grade point grade averages were computed for two concurrent semesters. A counseling module was developed by the researcher based on the State Department of Education's Evaluation Manual for Counselors. This module was given to the subjects In the experimental group only. A needs assessment was administered to all subjects. Findings showed no significant differences between the control and experimental groups on test scores. Small differences were observed with academic achievement Students who received the counseling module were self referred for counseling services at a greater rate than those students who did not receive the counseling module.
