Quasi-experimental study (Page & D'Agostino, 2005) comparing more than 800 students in 24 intervention and 22 comparison classrooms. WWC-confirmed significance for "middle/high school student survey part I and part II", with effect sizes 0.61 and 0.48 and improvement indices +23 and +19.

"The study reported statistically significant differences favoring the intervention group for middle and high school students’ reports of their own and their classmates’ behavior (middle/high school student survey part I and part II)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Connect with Kids shows no statistically significant effects on elementary school students' assessments of their own or classmates' behavior — reports the opposite
• The average effect across all four behavior outcome measures in the Page & D'Agostino study is positive and statistically significant (effect size 0.40) — a broader claim this one bears on
• The WWC rates Connect with Kids as having potentially positive effects on behavior, limited by only one qualifying study — a broader claim this one bears on
