A -- Follow-up Study of the Student Support Services Program

The U.S. Department of Education, Policy and Program Studies Services has a need for a follow-up study of the student support services program analyzing prior data. The “Follow-Up Study of the Student Support Services (SSS) Program” collected data from two student groups: 1) a group of 2,900 college students in SSS programs and 2) a matched comparison group of 2,900 college students not in SSS programs. Previous data analysis for this study included a variety of statistical controls to account for student differences. The purpose of this task order, however, is to use additional statistical controls, particularly for student motivation, nesting of data, and selection bias; and to revise the final report based on the additional analyses.
