q3 · i? · causal · r2

Responder analysis on teacher-reported SSiS Autism subscale among the 13 of 17 children in each condition above the normative cutoff at baseline. The article reports χ2 = 0.43, p = .513, OR = 1.7 [0.4, 8.7].

"Thus, based on teacher report, six (46%) children from the interven- tion condition recovered or improved as compared to four (31%) children in the control condition ( /H92732 /H110050.43, p /H11005.513, OR[95% C.I.] /H110051.7[0.4,8.7])."
