q3 i? 42% to 78% of BEST in CLASS children with clinical or borderline C-TRF scores at pretest had normal scores at posttest, and 49% to 61% did so on the SSIS-RS. → Conroy 2018

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Descriptive percentages reported in the Discussion of the cluster-randomized trial, drawn from Tables 2 and 4, describing movement from clinical or borderline range at pretest to normal range at posttest among treated children. The article presents these as suggesting BEST in CLASS "may have some influence" on movement to normal functioning.

"42% to 78% of children in the BEST in CLASS condition with clinical or borderline scores on the C-TRF at pretest had normal scores at posttest, and as seen in Table 4, 49% to 61% of the children in the BEST in CLASS condi"

Related Claims¶

• BEST in CLASS reduced the percentage of children in the clinical or borderline range on all three C-TRF problem-behavior subscales — a broader claim this one bears on
• Treatment reduced the percentage of children in the clinical or borderline range on the SSIS-RS Problem Behavior subscale (SRD = −.186) — related
• Children in the clinical or borderline range at pretest were more likely to remain there at posttest, and this relationship was larger in State B — related
• The treatment effect on social skills was moderated by a significant Condition × Pretest × State interaction, significant only in State A — related
