q3 · i? · causal · r2

The WWC review of Roder & Elliott (2014), based on 143 students, rated short-term employment as no discernible effects; the outcome average effect size was 0.17 with an improvement index of +7 and was not statistically significant. Employment one year after program completion was 75% for the intervention group versus 68% for the comparison group (p = 0.40).

"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 short-term employment."
