There are numerous effect measures researchers can select when conducting a meta-analysis of single-case experimental design research. These effect measures model different characteristics of the data, so it is possible that a researcher's choice of an effect measure could lead to different conclusions about the same intervention. The current study investigated the impact of effect measure selection on conclusions about the effectiveness of check-in check-out (CICO), a commonly used intervention within School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. Using a multilevel meta-analysis of seven different effect measures across 95 cases in 22 studies, findings suggested that all effect measures indicated statistically significant results of CICO in improving student behavior. However, the magnitude of the effects varied when comparing the results to interpretive guidelines, suggesting that the selection of effect measures may impact conclusions regarding the extent to which an intervention is effective. Implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

Article Synopsis
  • A study compared the effectiveness of the Toronto Voluntary Isolation Centre (TVIC) and self-isolation guidance in reducing COVID-19 transmission among households during the pandemic.
  • Results showed that the 28-day secondary attack rate was significantly lower in TVIC households (5.2%) compared to self-isolation households (8.4%), indicating a 50% reduction in transmission risk.
  • The findings suggest that voluntary isolation centres can be beneficial not only for SARS-CoV-2 but may also help control future outbreaks of other infectious diseases, especially for individuals struggling to isolate at home.

Educators are responsible for supporting positive school experiences for all students, including those with or at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Students with or at risk for EBD experience multiple negative outcomes impacting their school years, and these negative outcomes extend past graduation. Social and emotional learning programs are being used by schools to build students' competency in areas designed to help them successfully manage the school environment and life in general.
