“…A systematic review of multi-level studies of the effects of school-level factors on student health outcomes (Bonell et al, 2013b) found consistent evidence from cross-sectional (Aveyard et al, 2004: ;Bisset et al, 2007) and longitudinal studies (Markham et al, 2008: ;Tobler et al, 2011) of US middle schools and UK secondary schools that students attending schools with high 'value added education' (VAE) have lower rates of smoking, drinking and drug use. One of these studies also reports an association between this measure of VAE and reduced violence (Tobler et al, 2011).…”

No honoraria were involved in study authorship. Compliance with ethical standardsThe process of ethical review and informed consent procedures for human participants are that students are healthier in schools where more students are committed to school. Previous research has examined this only using a proxy measure of value-added education (a measure of whether school-level attendance and attainment are higher than predicted by students' social profile), finding associations with smoking tobacco, use of alcohol and illicit drugs, and violence.These findings do not provide direct insights into the associations between school-level aggregate student commitment and health behaviours, and may simply reflect the proxy measure being residually confounded by unmeasured student characteristics. We examined the previously used proxy measure of value-added education, as well as direct measures at the level of the school and the student of lack of student commitment to school to see if these were associated with students' self-reported smoking tobacco, alcohol use and school misbehaviour.Design, setting and methods: Multi-level analyses drew on cross-sectional data from 6667 students in 40 schools in south-east England.Results: There were association between school-and student-level measures of lack of commitment to school and tobacco smoking, alcohol use and school misbehaviour outcomes, but the proxy measure of school-level ...

“…Indeed, quantitative research on school educational effects, while not examining health impacts, generally concludes that engagement and attainment are highest in schools with orderly environments and a strong focus on academic attainment (Mortimore et al, 1988, Rutter et al, 1979, Sammons, 2007, Sammons, 2012, Sammons et al, 2011. Other authors have observed that UK schools which select on the basis of educational attainment at age 11 have high value-added scores and low rates of substance use (Aveyard et al, 2004). The same might also be true of non-selective schools in affluent neighbourhoods characterised by high aspirations and low levels of substance use.…”

“…Another group of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies undertaken in the UK and USA has aimed to engage with this theory more directly by examining associations between 'valueadded education' and various measures of substance use (Aveyard et al, 2004, Bisset et al, 2007, Markham et al, 2008, Markham et al, 2012, Tobler et al, 2011. In these studies, value-added education was used as a proxy measure for the degree to which schools succeed in gaining students' commitments to the 'instructional' and 'regulatory' orders.…”

“…There is evidence that the school climate (Aveyard, Markham, Lancashire, Bullock, Macarthur & Cheng, 2004) and the nature of school environments influence substance use (Desousa, Murphy, Roberts & Anderson, 2008;Fletcher, Bonell, Sorhaindo & Strange, 2009) and violence in schools (Reid, Andrew, Hughey & Garcia-Reid, 2006). Therefore, interventions that increase student participation, improve relationships and promote a positive school ethos might reduce drug use (Bonell, Sorhaindo, Allen, Strange, Wiggins, Fletcher, …Rhodes, 2010;Fletcher, Bonell & Hargreaves, 2008).…”
