The PASS Program
Peer Academic Supports for Success (PASS) is a peer coaching study conducted by UMass Chan, BU, & UMB We are currently enrolling students into the study!
PASS/PACS, or Peer Academic Supports/Coaching for Success, is a research-informed peer academic coaching program for freshmen and sophomore college students at Boston University and UMass Boston with mental health conditions. PASS 2.0 is conducted by researchers at the Transitions to Adulthood Center for Research (Transitions ACR) within iSPARC at UMass Chan Medical School in partnership with Boston University and UMass Boston. Please complete our preliminary screening form to see if you're eligible to participate at: bit.ly/BUPASS or bit.ly/UMBPACS. This project builds on a project from the 2014-2019 RRTC (NIDILRR/ACL #90RT5031). PASS is a hybrid randomized controlled efficacy trial/implementation study to test model efficacy for academic persistence and examine implementation factors. The PASS academic peer coaching model aims to improve academic persistence, performance and retention in 18-24-year-old freshmen and sophomores with SMHC. PASS Coaches (juniors and seniors) teach and coach curricula that target academic success for two semesters.
