The main objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the effects of intervention programs on school attendance behaviors of elementary and secondary school students to inform policy and practice. The specific questions guiding this study were: (1) Do indicated programs with a goal of increasing student attendance affect school attendance behaviors of elementary and secondary students?; (2) Are there differences in the effects of school-based, clinic/community-based, and court-based programs?; and (3) Are different modalities (i.e. individual, family, group, multi-modal) of interventions more effective than others in increasing student attendance? Appended are: (1) Studies Included in the Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis; (2) Excluded Studies; (3) Included Studies; and (4) Summary of Included Single Group Pre-Post Test Design Studies. (Contains 4 tables and 3 figures.)
