T-test on Add Health subsamples comparing on-time completion by age 19: healthy students 94.4% versus chronically ill students 90.1%. The article reports "a small effect size (d = 0.16; Cohen, 1988)".

"Group differences in the rate of high school graduation by age 19 were significantly different than zero (t(1056) = 2.60, p = .005) with a small effect size (d = 0.16; Cohen, 1988). Healthy students had an on-time high school completion rate of 94.4%"
