| Outcome | Sample size | Effect size (95% CI) | Quality | Interpretation of effecta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean homework completion score at 3-6 months post-intervention: composite score using the number of days in the last week that the girls spent at least 30 min/day on homework; and whether or not the girls did homework that day. | 81 | MD 0.64 (0.16 to 1.12) | Very Low | Effect favours intervention group but may be less than the MID |
| Mean homework completion score at 12 months post-intervention: composite score using caregiver and girl report of the number of days in the last week that the girls spent at least 30 min/day on homework; and whether or not the girls did homework that day. | 81 | MD 1.44 (0.59 to 2.29) | Very Low | Effect favours intervention group but may be less than the MID |
| Mean school attendance score at 12 months post baseline: composite score using caregivers and girls reports of how often the girls attended school. | 81 | MD 0.61 (0.15 to 1.07) | Very Low | Effect favours intervention group but may be less than the MID |
No meaningful difference: crosses line of no effect but not line of MID; Could not differentiate: crosses line of no effect and line of MID; May favour: confidence intervals do not cross line of no effect but cross MID; Favours: confidence intervals do not cross line of no effect or MID
