Official title

Preventing Truancy in Urban Schools Through Provision of Social Services by Truancy Officers

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

In partnership with the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), the goal of this project is to test the effectiveness of a manualized mentoring and case management program for students in grades 1-8. Most of the current policy and research attention on dropout has focused on the dropout decision itself, even though dropout is more likely to be simply the end point of a longer-term developmental process. This project seeks to learn more about the relative effectiveness of preventing dropout through mentoring and case management programs, and to learn more about the relative effectiveness of intervening early vs. later.
