q3 · i? · causal · r2

The WWC review of Roder & Elliott (2014), based on 143 students, rated medium-term employment as no discernible effects; the outcome average effect size was -0.02 with an improvement index of -1, not statistically significant. Employment three years after program completion was 82% versus 80% (p = 0.78) and average hours worked favored the comparison group (effect size -0.11, p = 0.55).

"The WWC determined that one study that meets WWC group design standards without reservations (Roder & Elliott, 2014) showed evidence of an indeterminate effect of Year Up on medium-term employment."
