The NAO's report, Establishing Free Schools, analyses Education Secretary Michael Gove's free school programme which has seen 174 schools open in England between September 2011 and 2013.
The only article available on prevention programs in Brazilian schools analysed 133 articles published from 1999 to 2001 (Canoletti and Soares 2005) and showed that the goal of these early programs was generally to inform about drugs, with many of the elements in Table 1 being absent.
Analyses were adjusted for age, gender, socio-economic status, parent BMI and school; prospective analyses also adjusted for study condition and baseline predictor and outcome variables.
Education higher than basic school was analysed in both unconditional analyses, that is, including all persons in both cohorts, and conditional on attainment of the previous educational level.
A cohort of 2,196 school pupils (analyses restricted to 2,005 with complete data) surveyed at age 15.
In order to be included in the school day analyses, participants must have worn the monitor for 50% of the preschool day.
As there were varying numbers of children in each school, the analyses were weighted by cluster size 35 36; inverse variance weighting was not used, given the uncertainties in estimating the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs).
Education 306A is a survey course, covering issues from the relation of schooling, to economic outcomes, to the analysis of how schooling and students' family backgrounds influence student performance in schools, to analyses of teacher labor markets (including issues such as teacher incentive pay).
Thus, given the small number of schools that will be involved in the effectiveness study, it will not be possible to perform school-level analyses.
