The most important proximal outcomes for residents of therapeutic communities (TCs) are retention and successful completion of the program. At this point there has been no quantitative analysis of the relationship between the exchange of corrective reminders, or pull-ups, between peers in TCs and graduation. This study draws on a database of pull-ups exchanged between 5464 residents of three midwestern TCs. Residents who send more pull-ups to peers and who reciprocate pull-ups with a larger percentage of peers are more likely to graduate. Residents who receive more pull-ups from peers and staff and a larger percentage of whose peers reciprocate pull-ups that they send are less likely to graduate. Implications of these findings for program theory and program improvement are discussed.
