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? By the end of the 18-month study period, victimisation reportage was 23.4% at the research school versus 51.4% at the control school, a 119.7% differential, after near-identical baselines of 40.5% and 42.4%. → Peadar Donohoe and Carmel O’Sullivan 2015
q2 i? At the control school a pupil had a 57% greater likelihood of being victimised by bullying than at the research school at post-intervention. → Peadar Donohoe and Carmel O’Sullivan 2015 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r1
OBVQ-R survey comparison of fourth to sixth classes at a research and a matched control school, pre-intervention December 2010 and post-intervention May 2012. The article reports a "119.7% bullying victimization reportage differential" by the end of the period, from near-identical baselines. No inferential test statistic is printed.
"The survey data shows that there was a 119.7% bullying victimization reportage differential between the research and the control schools by the end of the research period (research school 23.4%, control school, 51.4%) whereas at the start of the study the differential was only marginal (research school = 40.5%, control school = 42.4%)."

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Post-intervention OBVQ-R comparison between the two schools reported in the results section near Figures 5 and 6. The article prints the "57% greater likelihood" figure descriptively; no effect size or significance test is reported for this contrast.
"At the control school a pupil had a 57% greater likelihood of being victimised by bullying than at the research school."
