Future research must find evidence-based solutions for improving educational opportunities for young men of color at every level.

As this study has shown, the research is heavily slanted toward the identification of problems in the respective communities. However, there is a deficiency of solution-based research. This is even the case with African American research, though a plethora of studies and research has been conducted in this group. This weakness must be corrected for all groups, especially for smaller communities such as Pacific Islanders and Native Americans, for which the body of studies and research is quite small and there is little disaggregation by gender. This has led to a lack of policy responses in many of these communities.
