Hey folks, I& #39;m looking for references that show that middle/high school pipeline programs do/don& #39;t convert to actual enrollments in allied health professions? What makes programs succeed or fail? (Is 1 short exposure sufficient to increase enrollment 5 years later? or more?)
@JMSchneiderPhD I feel like you might know this literature - like do we ACTUALLY get more women in STEM because of a guest lecturer in middle school?
My review of the literature is no one has taken data on this in the area of #SLPeeps (is that right @ASHAJournals?) and that some data from audiology is just focused on awareness of the profession 6 mos later, not enrollments. Others?

Also some retrospective studies on how did you come to know about this field (in which career exposure in middle/high school is not named as a thing) https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1525740114566230?casa_token=i7kP_fMPRVIAAAAA%3AlXc1Rk6A3dB3Dyd2DoGxbtq8qzqM_ntuwDQg1GmHH9MWw4A-cidevVAtZyN_BIohgC3eJ-h08Zs7">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/...
And some work on why people choose other fields (mostly lack of awareness of SLP) as part of a larger body of work on career choice in Australia by Nicole Byrne https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/17549500903464346?casa_token=aMFN4LLTAVAAAAAA%3AQR5gFgE50QLHrgDoTgbqzRJhHkNgL6ImxT_XYC1cMpbEGyzHaHK4kfnsoATb7DPR4uluNl6wuOId">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/...
