Subclaims¶

q2 i? Latinx students had the highest participation rate (32%), followed by Black (26%), Asian (24%), and White students (18%). → de la Torre 2023 q2 i? White students were less likely to participate even when comparing students with similar characteristics; household number explained the differences among Latinx, Black, and Asian students. → de la Torre 2023 (2)

Evidence¶

de la Torre 2023¶

de la Torre, M. (2023). Exploring Chicago Connected: Participation patterns. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Consortium on School Research. https://consortium.uchicago.edu/publications/exploring-chicago-connected

q2 · i? · associational · r3

Descriptive participation rates by race/ethnicity (Figure 6). The report adds Black students at 26%, Asian students at 24%, and White students at 18%, and notes some differences were not statistically significant in multilevel models.

"Latinx students had the highest participation rates among eligible students with 32% of them participating"

de la Torre 2023 (2)¶

de la Torre, M. (2023). Exploring Chicago Connected: Participation patterns. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Consortium on School Research. https://consortium.uchicago.edu/publications/exploring-chicago-connected

q2 · i? · associational · r3

Multilevel model results (Table A.1). The appendix states the inclusion of the number of students in a household explained the differences in participation rates between Latinx, Black, and Asian students, while White students' rates remained lower.

"White students were less likely to participate in Chicago Connected, even when comparing students with similar student, school, and neighborhood characteristics."

Learner Variables¶

• Race and Ethnicity — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
