q2 · i? · associational · r2
Mixed-effects multilevel regressions on 2022 survey data from 271 schools, nested in districts, found "both awareness and use of the Trauma-Engaged Schools resources were significantly associated with increased implementation." Descriptively, average practices scores rose from 3.29 (strongly disagree awareness) to 4.58 (strongly disagree use) across awareness/use levels.
"In regression models that controlled for school characteristics, both awareness and use of the Trauma-Engaged Schools resources were significantly associated with increased implementation of trauma-engaged practices"
