Abstract This study examines risk and protective factors associated with on-time grade attainment among a cohort of high risk elementary age youth 3 years post truancy intervention. Conjunctive Analysis of Case Configurations was used to identify dominant subpopulation profiles and assess distinctions in the likelihood of on-time grade completion among groups with unique combinations of characteristics. Comparisons of subpopulation profiles revealed substantial contextual variability in the influence of race, gender, service completion, psychosocial risk factors, and truancy. Findings indicate race is not influential across all grades but appears to be dependent on truancy level. Although psychosocial risk factors are not present for K-3rd profiles, they are critical among 4-5th graders, specifically lack of motivation. Findings from this study allow practitioners to better understand risk and protective factors influencing grade progression and aids in the development of individualized case management and intervention. Findings indicate better policies are needed to address early truancy.

使用联合方法探索高风险青年中准时成绩获得的相关因素

摘要本研究调查了逃学干预后3年的高危基本年龄青年队列中与按时成绩达成相关的风险和保护因素。案例结构的联合分析被用来识别主要的亚人群概况,并评估具有独特特征组合的群体在按时成绩完成的可能性方面的差异。亚人群概况的比较显示,种族,性别,服务完成,心理社会风险因素和逃学的影响存在很大的背景差异。调查结果表明种族并不影响所有年级,但似乎取决于逃学水平。尽管K-3年级学生没有心理社会风险因素,但对于4-5年级的学生而言,这些因素至关重要,尤其是缺乏动力。这项研究的发现使从业者可以更好地理解影响年级进展的风险和保护因素,并有助于发展个体化的病例管理和干预措施。调查结果表明需要更好的政策来解决早期逃学问题。
