Question of cost-effectiveness
31. National Dropout Prevention Center/Network 31 Defining Research-Based What is scientifically-based research?
According to USDOE What Works Clearinghouse:
Employs systematic, empirical methods that draw on observation or experiment and provide reliable data
Ensures studies and methods are replicable
Accepted by peer review for publication
Uses appropriate research designs and methods
32. National Dropout Prevention Center/Network 32 Defining Research-Based Varied program levels
Exemplary
Model
Promising
33. National Dropout Prevention Center/Network 33 Defining Research-Based Number of programs meeting criteria often small
Based on quality research/practice but no data support
Data not collected through rigorous evaluation
Findings not replicated
Not implemented across multiple sites
34. National Dropout Prevention Center/Network 34 EEDA Risk Factors/Effective Strategies Project Identification of high quality programs:
Tier 1(exemplary) - in 2+ sources
Due to resource/time constraint, relied on prior reviews on selected databases with stringent criteria
OJJDP, SAMHSA and Surgeon General’s report on youth violence
12 High School programs identified
Tier 2 (promising) - strong evidence
50 High school programs identified
SC ATE program included
