Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To report long-term effectiveness of the Positive Action program. METHODS: Used matched-schools design and school-level achievement and disciplinary data to evaluate program effects on student performance and behavior in elementary schools. RESULTS: Participation in the Positive Action program improved student behavior, school involvement, and academic achievement at all 3 levels of schools, with the results showing a clear dose-response relationship. CONCLUSION: Results provide clear evidence that a coherent, comprehensive, and integrated program can have enduring effects in multiple domains.
