q3 i? The multivariate time-by-treatment interaction was not significant, indicating no treatment effect on the combined behavioral and academic outcomes. → Kelchner 2017 q3 i?

Kelchner 2017¶

Kelchner, V. P., Evans, K., Brendell, K., Allen, D., Miller, C., & Cooper-Haber, K. (2017). The Effect of a School-Based Transitional Support Intervention Program on Alternative School Youth's Attitudes and Behaviors. The Professional Counselor, 7(2), 169-184. https://doi.org/10.15241/vpk.7.2.169

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance on four dependent variables (SAAS-R, percentage of courses passed, discipline referrals, attendance) in the 52-participant two-group pretest-posttest study. The article reports "no significant main effect due to treatment" with Wilks' Lambda = .890, F(4, 47) = 1.451, p = .232; equivalence was not tested.

"There was no significant main effect due to treatment (time by treatment/control): Wilks' Lambda = .890, F(4, 47) = 1.451, p = .232."

Table 1.3 between-subjects effects for treatment and control show non-significant univariate effects for grades (F(1,50) = .090, p = .765), discipline (F(1,50) = .474, p = .494), and attendance (F(1,50) = .235, p = .630). No effect sizes are printed.
