q1 i? The authors propose that PBIS-driven improvements in organizational health may in turn mediate effects of PBIS on student performance. → Bradshaw 2009

Evidence¶

Bradshaw 2009¶

Bradshaw, C. P., Koth, C. W., Thornton, L. A., & Leaf, P. J. (2009). Altering School Climate through School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports: Findings from a Group-Randomized Effectiveness Trial. Prevention Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11121-008-0114-9

q1 · i? · causal · r2

This is the authors' interpretation from the trial: organizational health change is framed as "a potential contextual mediator of the effect of PBIS on student performance". The article presents this as a possibility, not a tested mediation analysis.

"changes in school organizational health are important consequences of the PBIS whole-school prevention model, and may in turn be a potential contextual mediator of the effect of PBIS on student performance"
