Demonstration of RCT-YES Software

• In Event: RCT-YES: A New Tool to Support Lower-Cost Program Evaluation in Schools

Abstract

This presentation will demonstrate use of the RCT-YES software package using the real-world dataset from the Springdale evaluation introduced in the previous presentation. The presentation will walk through the steps a researcher would need to take to conduct the impact analyses using RCT-YES, demonstrating key features and options. The presentation will also step through the output produced, including sample sizes and summary statistics, tests of baseline equivalence of the treatment and control groups, and impact estimates for the full sample and subgroups.
