Finally, a single experimental study of an educational enhancement program for at-risk 6th graders (the Boys and Girls Clubs of America) suggested that participation in this program was related to increased attendance (Schinke, Cole, & Poulin, 2000; as summarized in Redd, Hair, Moore, & Cochran, 2001). The authors of this study found that students participating in this program had higher attendance records than students in a comparison group who did not participate in the program.
