Predictors of authorised, unauthorised and persistent absence among secondary school pupils in Scotland
This article examines the factors associated with persistent absenteeism (an absence rate of 10% or higher) and authorised and unauthorised absence among secondary school pupils in Scotland. Using linked administrative data, the analysis focuses on secondary school stages S1–S6 in three academic years. The analytical approach involves mixed‐effects modelling to predict probabilities of persistent absenteeism, followed by multilevel negative binom…
Estimating the effect of intervention compliance on long-term outcome trajectories: Application of the latent adherence growth curve model in a cluster-randomized trial of the good behavior game
The effectiveness of universal, school-based interventions in preventing the emergence, maintenance, or escalation of behavioral difficulties in children and adolescents is supported by a growing body of research. Nevertheless, this understanding is somewhat limited to “what works” assessments, leaving aside fundamental questions on relevant underlying mechanisms that make an intervention effective under specific circumstances, for some groups, o…
Local Geographic Variations in Children’s School Readiness - A Multilevel Analysis of the Development Gaps in England
The educational attainment levels of children in state-funded schools in England are lower than in many countries with comparable levels of economic development. There are also striking differences at the local level across England. To understand these differences it is important to examine children’s development in their early years. This research uses multilevel analysis of the National Pupil Database to investigate child development at ages 4 …
Poverty, parental work intensity and child emotional and conduct problems
Poverty is known to be associated with poorer child mental wellbeing. Relatedly, the security and quality of employment are reported to affect adult wellbeing. Less is known about how both poverty and parental employment affect children's mental wellbeing. This paper uses nine waves (2005/06-2017/18) of the Growing Up in Scotland (GUS) study to examine how the longitudinal trajectories of poverty and work intensity are associated with the longitu…
Playing the long game: A multivariate multilevel non-linear growth curve model of long-term effects in a randomized trial of the Good Behavior Game
This cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) examined the impact of the Good Behavior Game (GBG) on children's developmental trajectories of disruptive behavior, concentration problems, and prosocial behavior from middle childhood (ages 6-7 years) to early adolescence (ages 10-11 years). Seventy-seven schools in England were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Allocation was balanced by school size and the proportion of childr…
