A comprehensive outside-of-school intervention to promote school attendance and achievement during the COVID-19 pandemic
We demonstrated the association between participation in Student U and lower school absenteeism, as well as improved academic performance across multiple subjects for underserved youth. Findings reinforce the potential for comprehensive and intensive outside-of-school programs to support underserved youth and mitigate inequities following pandemics and other public health emergencies.
