q3 · i? · causal · r2
Teacher-report outcome from the same randomized trial of Preschool PATHS in Head Start classrooms, with pretest scores controlled via analysis of covariance. This withdrawal finding is reported separately from the social competence ratings.
"Further, teachers rated intervention children as less socially withdrawn at the end of the school year compared to controls."
