Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms 2018-2019 - Treatment: 253 - Control: 248 - Total: 501 - Blocks: 48 2019-2020 - Treatment: 581 - Control: 575 - Total: 1,156 - Blocks: 41 2018-2019 - Treatment: 253 - Control: 248 - Total: 501 - Blocks: 48 2019-2020 - Treatment: 581 - Control: 575 - Total: 1,156 - Blocks: 42
Power calculation: Minimum Detectable Effect Size for Main Outcomes We used the PowerUp! tool for power analyses (Shiny App here: https://powerupr.shinyapps.io/index/), allocating 50% of students to the treatment and 50% to the control. Below are the minimum detectable effect sizes (SD units). 2018-2019 PSJA: 48 blocks, harmonic mean across blocks = 5.937367 --> MDES = 0.272 SD 2019-2020 PSJA: 41 blocks, harmonic mean across blocks = 7.274103 --> MDES = 0.266 SD We used the PowerUp! tool for power analyses (Shiny App here: https://powerupr.shinyapps.io/index/), allocating approximately 50% of students to the treatment and 50% to the control. We assumed that our model would include 20 covariates and would explain about 33.33% of the variance. Below are the minimum detectable effect sizes (SD units). 2018-2019 PSJA: 48 blocks, harmonic mean across blocks = 5.937367 --> MDES = 0.272 SD 2019-2020 PSJA: 42 blocks, harmonic mean across blocks = 7.274103 --> MDES = 0.263 SD
