q3 · i0 · causal · r2

Intention-to-treat analysis of the pupil-randomised trial's secondary outcomes (SDQ teacher ratings and PARYC parent questionnaire) at post-test; Table 10 reports effect sizes from -0.08 to +0.18, all non-significant, with up to 527 pupils in the models.

"In addition, there were no statistically significant differences between conditions for the secondary (social and behavioural) measures at immediate post-test (Table 10). The results were also inconsistent with both positive and negative effect sizes occurring ranging from -0.08 to +0.18."
