This retrospective program evaluation describes observed program performance and outcomes. It does not claim causal effects because no randomized or comparison-group design was used.
Baltimore Brothers distinguishes youth served, youth enrolled, youth reached, youth contacts and unique participants. Populations are never combined without a label, and percentages are reported with their denominator context where available.
