註釋MDRC launched Opening Doors in 2003 to study the effects of community college programs designed to help students persist in school and earn a credential. This report presents early results from the Opening Doors program at Owens Community College in Toledo, Ohio, which operated from 2004 through 2006. The two-semester program served students whose family income was below 250 percent of the federal poverty level and who were either incoming freshmen or returning students who had completed fewer than 13 credits and had a history of academic difficulties. The early results from Owens show that the program boosted enrollment in the short run but did not have a significant lasting effect. The pattern of the results is similar to what MDRC found at Lorain County Community College in Elyria, Ohio, whose Opening Doors intervention was structured like the program at Owens. This is the fourth in a series of reports that present preliminary findings from MDRC's Opening Doors demonstration. (Contains 4 tables and 1 figure.)
