Group formation formatted
The authors used a difference-in-discontinuity (DiRD) design to compare the outcomes of students assigned to the SP to the outcomes of students whose GPAs were just above the cutoff for academic probation (2.0 or lower for the first academic quarter of their freshman year). Data were collected and analyzed at the individual level using school administrative data along with wage and employment data from California's Employment Development Department.
