The review suggests that no single prevention or intervention strategy stands out as better than any other. The results suggest that the particular program strategy chosen makes less of a difference in eventual outcome than selecting a strategy that can be implemented successfully by the school or agency. Therefore, the authors recommend that policy-makers and practitioners consider cost-effectiveness, adaptation to local needs and a good strategy for implementation when choosing a dropout prevention or intervention program.
The review team was led by Dr Sandra Wilson, Associate Director of the Peabody Research Institute, Vanderbilt University.
