Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In some reviewed studies, benefits appeared when participants with high levels of participation were compared to non-participants, but the same benefits did not appear when high participants were compared to other program participants. → Jodie Roth 2010

The review reports a comparison-type moderator: "some benefits occurred when participants with high levels of participation were compared to non-participants", while comparisons against other program participants did not show these benefits. The two contrast groups are named as printed.
"some benefits occurred when participants with high levels of participation were compared to non-participants, not when they were compared to other program participants."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Greater amounts of participation in afterschool programs show little relation to academic, behavioral, or socio-emotional outcomes — related
- The relationship between afterschool participation and outcomes depends on how participation is conceptualized and measured and on the methodology used — a broader claim this one bears on
- The outcomes study estimated associations between specific coaching activity types and student outcomes using multiple administrative data sources — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
