According to the <a class="" href="http://www.urban.org/publications/411561.html">abstract</a> of the report, &quot;This research provides the first formal study of Florida’s FCBIs, and is guided by three research questions: (1) What are the FCBI objectives? (2) How are these objectives achieved? and (3) What are the FCBI outcomes?&quot; This research will help you form an opinion on the efficacy of FCBIs.</p><img src="http://community.nicic.org/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5553" width="1" height="1">EvaluationReligionFaith-Based
