Most randomized field experiments experience some attrition. Moreover, the extent of attrition may differ by treatment condition in systematic, non-random ways, biasing estimates of treatment effects and contributing to invalid inferences. We address concerns about non-random attrition by quantifying the conditions necessary in the attritted data…

Combining observational and experimental data for causal inference can improve treatment effect estimation. However, many observational data sets cannot be released due to data privacy considerations, so one researcher may not have access to both experimental and observational data. Nonetheless, a small amount of risk of disclosing sensitive…

Background: Despite many adolescents experiencing mental health concerns, a substantial portion lack access to evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for psychopathology; this issue is magnified for adolescents belonging to communities considered marginalized. One way to ameliorate this is by adapting existent EBTs--typically delivered in research…

Background: Schools need to implement universal student supports that prevent social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties; minimize associated risks; and promote social, emotional, and behavioral competencies. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of the Helping Educational Leaders Mobilize Evidence (HELM) implementation strategy…

Retention of early career teachers is a critical issue in education, with burnout and self-efficacy serving as important precursors to teachers leaving the field. An integration of the PAX Good Behavior Game (GBG; Barrish et al., 1969) and MyTeachingPartner (MTP; Allen et al., 2015) was tested in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate…

This secondary analysis of data from a randomized control trial of an early mathematics intervention, ROOTS, explored whether patterns of intervention response were best categorized by the typical response/non-response binary or a more complex framework with additional response profiles. Participants included kindergarten students at risk for…
