Subclaims¶

q3 i? Pretest status was significantly and positively related to posttest status across C-TRF and SSIS-RS subscales (CBRDs .493, .388, .382, .328, .338). → Conroy 2018 q3 i? A significant P × S interaction for Externalizing and Internalizing Problems indicated the pretest–posttest relationship effect was larger in State B. → Conroy 2018 (2)

Evidence¶

Conroy 2018¶

Conroy, M. A., Sutherland, K. S., Algina, J., Werch, B., & Ladwig, C. (2018). Prevention and Treatment of Problem Behaviors in Young Children: Clinical Implications From a Randomized Controlled Trial of BEST in CLASS. AERA Open. https://doi.org/10.1177/2332858417750376

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Logistic regression results from the cluster-randomized trial. The article reports CBRD effect sizes of .493, .388, and .382 for the C-TRF subscales and .328 and .338 for the SSIS-RS subscales, comparing children in versus out of the clinical or borderline range at pretest.

"There was also a significant positive relationship of pre- and posttest status, indicating that, when compared with children who scored in the normal range at pretest, children who scored in the clinical or borderline range at pretest were more likely to be in the clinical or borderline range at posttest."

Conroy 2018 (2)¶

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Logistic regression interaction results for the C-TRF subscales. The P × S interaction was significant for Externalizing Problems (CBRD .563 in State B vs. .423 in State A) and Internalizing Problems (.521 vs. .256); it was not significant for Total Problems.

"The relationship to pre- and posttest status was modified by a significant P × S interaction for both Externalizing Problems and Internalizing Problems. These interactions indicated that the pretest-posttest relationship effect was larger in State B."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Treatment reduced the percentage of children in the clinical or borderline range on the SSIS-RS Problem Behavior subscale (SRD = −.186) — related
• Substantial proportions of treated children with clinical or borderline pretest scores moved to the normal range at posttest — related
• The treatment effect on social skills was moderated by a significant Condition × Pretest × State interaction, significant only in State A — related
