“…This chapter addresses Boruch and Ruby’s questions directly, as evinced in an assembly of published reports of RCTs, and derives from this assembly several implications for researchers that confirm and overlap with the work in Herrington and Maynard (2019), especially the framework to learn from null findings proposed by Jacob et al (2019). Such implications include articulating an intervention’s logic model; employing a small number of directly program-relevant outcome measures; acknowledging that realistic effect sizes in school settings are often small; and collecting more data on fidelity of implementation than convention stipulates (C. J. Hill, 2019; H.…”
