Subclaims¶

q2 i? The intervention was significantly associated with social skills at age four (β = 0.104, SE = 0.031, p =.001) but showed no significant direct association with behavior problems (β = 0.007, p =.833). → Finch 2016

Finch 2016¶

Finch, J. E., Obradović, J., & Yousafzai, A. (2016). Home environment quality mediates the effects of an early intervention on children's social-emotional development in rural Pakistan. SREE Spring 2016 Conference abstract. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED567225

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Path model of the PEDS four-year follow-up (N = 1302) reports a significant direct intervention effect on social skills at age four, "β = 0.104, SE = 0.031, p =.001". Table 2 shows the direct path to behavior problems was not significant (β = 0.007, p =.833).

"the responsive stimulation intervention was significantly associated with children's home environment quality at age 2 (β = 0.385, SE = 0.028, p <.001) and social skills (β = 0.104, SE = 0.031, p =.001) at age four"
