Abstract
Data collected in a quasi-experimental, pre–posttest design study from Grade 9 students (N = 197) was used to evaluate the impact of the evidence-based student success skills classroom program on Grade 9 completion rate and student engagement. Results from analyses of covariance revealed there was a statistically significant difference at posttest on Grade 9 completion rate between students who participated in the intervention (n = 98) as compared to students who did not participant in the program (n = 99).

It addresses topics such as: treatment efficacy, clinical diagnosis, program evaluation, research design, outcome measure reviews.

Manuscripts typically fall into one of the following categories: Counseling Outcome Research: Treatment efficacy and effectiveness of mental health, school, addictions, rehabilitation, family, and college counseling interventions across the lifespan as reported in clinical trials, single-case research designs, single-group designs, and multi- or mixed-method designs.
